Lesson#1
Welcome to this deck on transformations. We'll be focusing on enlargement, which is a way of changing the size of a shape without changing its proportions. By the end, you'll understand how to perform and describe an enlargement.
Quiz#2
What type of transformation changes the size of a shape but keeps its proportions the same?

enlargement

Lesson#3
Two key ideas are needed for any enlargement. The first is the scale factor. This is a number that tells you how many times bigger or smaller the shape will become. In this deck, we will only use positive whole numbers for the scale factor.
Quiz#4
In an enlargement, what is the name of the number that tells you how much the size of a shape changes?

scale factor

Quiz#5
If a shape is enlarged by a scale factor of 3, how many times longer will its new side lengths be?

three times

Lesson#6
The second key idea for an enlargement is the centre of enlargement. This is a fixed point on the page from which the enlargement is measured. Think of it as the anchor point for the transformation.
