Scale Factors and Centres of Enlargement (A) WORKSHEET

This enlargement worksheet will give you students practice enlarging three polygons (twice each) from a given centre of enlargement by a positive integer or fractional scale factors.

The polygons are made up of a triangle with some tricky sides to contend with, an irregular dodecagon with horizontal and vertical sides and two different scalene trapezia. All centres of enlargement do not touch the objects. The scale factors for enlargement are two, three and a half.

All transformations can be carried out on the square grid, which is the background of the worksheet. Objects are translucent to aid your students. Ensure students are equipped with a pencil and a ruler to complete their drawings.
