Directions:

Fill in the graphic organizer with the required information.

o The most useful resources to help you with this graphic
organizer are the textbook (Chapter 7), the guided notes
(Chapter 7), and the lecture (Chapter 7). You may also use
previous assignments from this unit to see more examples
of scale factor problems.
o Information does not need to be written in complete
sentences, but all work must be shown, if applicable.
o Add as much detail as possible in all boxes.
o When showing your work, make sure to make your final

answer stand out (e.g. box, bold, highlight, etc.)

You may work with partners.
o Each student needs to turn in his or her own paper.
o If you and your partner get stuck on a particular box and
have exhausted all of your resources, you have two
options:
(1) ask me for help
(2) ask another set of partners for help.
o If you choose to ask another set of partners for help, you
cannot work as a group of for the remainder of the
assignment. You must resort back to working with your
original partner after your question has been answered.

When finding the side

length of a new side
using a scale factor,
what formula is used?
Explain what each
variable represents in
the formula.

Create an original
figure and then use
the formula, choose a
scale factor (if
needed), and use the
formula to reduce or
enlarge the object.
