Enlargements on Axes WORKSHEET

Suitable for Year groups: Year 10, Year 11
GCSE Tier: Higher
Targeting grades: 6-7
Prerequisite knowledge: Coordinates in all four quadrants. Enlargement from the centre of enlargement using positive integer and fractional scale factors.
Learning Objective: Draw enlargements of shapes by a given positive and negative scale factor from a centre of enlargment (includes fractional scale factors) on a coordinate grid

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.

All worksheets are created by the team of experienced teachers at Cazoom Maths.

Frequently Asked Questions

Students should be comfortable working with coordinates across all four quadrants of a coordinate grid before tackling these problems. They'll also need solid experience with enlargements using positive integer and fractional scale factors from a centre of enlargement, as this worksheet builds directly on those foundational skills.
