Enlargement with Fractional Scale Factors (A) WORKSHEET DESCRIPTION

This worksheet on enlargement is designed to allow students to practice enlarging basic shapes by positive fractional scale factors without a centre of enlargement. The worksheet is on square paper, perfect for students to work directly on the sheet.

Learners are asked to enlarge a rectangle and three triangles by three different scale factors each, all of which are proper fractions. The triangles increase in difficulty, starting with a right-angled triangle with two vertical/horizontal sides, then an isosceles triangle, and finally a triangle with three diagonal sides.

Ensure pupils use a pencil and ruler to complete the transformations.
