Enlargements on Axes WORKSHEET DESCRIPTION

This worksheet consists of enlargement by a negative integer and positive fractional scale factors on x and y axes.

In section A, pupils will complete four enlargements on separate sets of axes from centres of enlargement given as coordinates and negative scale factors -1, -2 and -3 and the fractional scale factor ½. Centers of enlargements vary in their relative positions to each object. Objects are translucent to aid your students' transformations.

Then, in section B there are two questions where the object and image are given and students must define the scale factor for enlargement and find the center of enlargement in each case.
