Transformations change the size or position of shapes. Congruent shapes are identical, but may be reflected, rotated or translated. Scale factors can increase or decrease the size of a shape.
​

WALT:  Recap the four types of transformation

Step 1 -  Stick this sheet into your books
Step 2: Let's get the definitions locked in - stick them onto the appropriate spot.

Walt:  Use  the Enlargement transformation to reproduce our colony flags onto Foam board


​Enlargement Definition:

Enlargement, sometimes called scaling or dilation, is a kind of  transformation.   The figure   changes the size but not the shape.

In your colony.
Figure out the scale  factor. 
(what do all measurements need to be multiplied by)

1 Person to measure the flag.
1 person to do the maths.
       (I will allow a calculator to those who need it)
1 person to measure on the foam board.
1 person to make sure everything is working out well.
