problem_activity: Activity
Students dilated a single point in a previous activity. In this activity, they dilate a figure with multiple points and multiple shapes. The goal is for them to practice dilation and begin to confirm some properties of dilation. Students will have additional opportunities to formalize properties of dilation in subsequent lessons (A dilation takes a line not passing through the center of the dilation to a parallel line, and leaves a line passing through the center unchanged. The dilation of a line segment is longer or shorter according to the same ratio given by the scale factor.)
Monitor for students who use the following (incomplete) strategies:
use the two given lines to place
\(D’\)
and
\(B’\)
, and then estimate all of the other shapes and points
measure distances within the figure and try to replicate them, for example calculating the radii of the two circles and trying to place them without scaling
\(A\)
and
\(C\)
along rays through
\(P\)
Monitor for students who use the precise strategy of drawing rays from
\(P\)
through each point in the original figure and placing points in the image halfway between
\(P\)
and the corresponding point.
Launch
It's okay if students do not have time to dilate every point, encourage them to record things they notice and wonder as they draw the dilation.
Engagement: Internalize Self Regulation.
Chunk this task into more manageable parts to differentiate the degree of difficulty or complexity. Assign students an appropriate number of points to choose and dilate.

Activity Synthesis
The goal of this discussion is to surface some observations. If most students were comfortable drawing a dilation move directly to that. If not, select multiple students who used different strategies (both precise and incomplete) to share their work. Ask students to explain what was
precise
in each student’s method. The key point is that the most precise way to draw a dilation is to draw rays from the center of the dilation through each point of the original figure, and then measure to figure out where the point goes in the image.
Ask students to share the things they noticed and wondered. Record and display their responses for all to see. If possible, record the relevant reasoning on or near the image. After all responses have been recorded without commentary or editing, ask students, “Is there anything on this list that you are wondering about now?” Encourage students to respectfully disagree, ask for clarification, or point out contradicting information.
If the relative length of segments, or measure of angles do not come up during the conversation, ask students to discuss these ideas.
Speaking: MLR8 Discussion Supports.
Use this routine to support whole-class discussion. As students share their strategies for drawing the dilation of the figure, ask students to restate what they heard using precise mathematical language. Consider providing students time to restate what they hear to a partner before selecting one or two students to share with the class. Ask the original speaker if their peer was accurately able to restate their thinking. Call students’ attention to any words or phrases that helped clarify the original explanation such as, “draw rays from the center of dilation through each point of the original figure.” This provides more students with an opportunity to produce language as they interpret the reasoning of others.
