Big Boat

Worksheet Description

This worksheet teaches students how to enlarge an image using a scale factor of 2. The small boat drawing is placed on a grid, and students are asked to draw a larger version of the same image on a bigger grid by doubling the size of each part. This activity engages students visually while reinforcing the concept of scaling up figures proportionally. By the end of the exercise, students will have an enlarged image that maintains the original proportions, giving them hands-on experience with how scale factors work.

The worksheet helps students understand how to apply a scale factor to make an image larger while keeping its shape intact. By using a scale factor of 2, students learn that every side of the shape should be doubled, which strengthens their understanding of proportional relationships. This exercise builds spatial awareness, as students carefully enlarge each part of the image to match the correct proportions. Overall, this worksheet enhances their grasp of geometry and scaling, key concepts for more advanced mathematical and real-world applications.
