  • Module 3 Pre-Prerequisite Assessment
  • Covers 6th and 7th grade ratios and proportional relationship standards
  • Module 3 covers dilations—foundational learning came in 7th grade with scale drawings.
  • Module 2 Assessment Review
  • Brief review assessment to see where students are at from the previously taught module—need to identify gaps

Wednesday / 8.G.A.4
Understand that a two-dimensional figure is similar to another if the second can be obtained from the first by a sequence of rotations, reflections, translations, and dilations; given two similar two-dimensional figures, describe a sequence that exhibits the similarity between them. / TSW…
Investigate the properties of dilations. / MP.3 Construct viable arguments
MP.8 Repeated reasoning. /
  • Dilation Investigation
  • For this activity, students create their own design on a coordinate plane and use this design to explore properties of dilations. They will be asked to shrink and expand their design by a given scale factor, compare the coordinates of each design, and finally be given an opportunity to prove the properties of similarity and dilation on a coordinate plane. Students will use a protractor to demonstrate corresponding angles are equal.

Thursday / 8.G.A.4
Describe the effect of dilations, translations, rotations, and reflections on two-dimensional figures using coordinates. / TSW…
Take a pre-requisite assessment for module 2. / MP.3 Construct viable arguments
MP.8 Repeated reasoning. / Module 3~Lesson 3: Examples of Dilations
  • Example 1:
  • Ask students to (1) describe how they would plan to dilate a circle and (2) conjecture about what the result is when they dilate a circle.
  • Exercises 1-2:
  • Students dilate an ellipse on the coordinate plane.
  • Example 2-3: Mapping figures BACK to their original figure
  • Exercise 3:
  • Describe sequences that map one figure onto another
  • Closing:
  • What were the main points of this lesson?
