Scale Drawing WORKSHEET

Suitable for Grades: 7th Grade
CCSS: 7.G.A.1, 7.G.A.2
CCSS Description: Solve problems involving scale drawings of geometric figures, including computing actual lengths and areas from a scale drawing and reproducing a scale drawing at a different scale.

Draw (freehand, with ruler and protractor, and with technology) geometric shapes with given conditions; focus on constructing triangles from three measures of angles or sides, noticing when the conditions determine a unique triangle, more than one triangle, or no triangle.

Scale Drawing WORKSHEET DESCRIPTION

This worksheet on scale drawing provides students with exercises to practice understanding and applying different scales.

In Section A, students are tasked with converting ratios with units to the form 1:n. This section helps reinforce their ability to manipulate and express ratios accurately.

Section B presents several scale drawings of various shapes, each drawn using a different scale. Students are required to measure the drawings and use the given scales to calculate the real-life lengths or heights of the shapes, developing their skills in working with proportions and measurements.

Finally, in Section C, students are instructed to create accurate scale drawings of shapes on a centimeter-square grid. They must apply the given scales to each shape, requiring precision in both measuring and drawing.

This worksheet is ideal for developing key geometry skills related to scale drawings and proportional reasoning.
