| Full lesson | Create for a teacher a set of content for giving a lesson, beginning with the lesson plan. Each new block of materials must begin with an H1 heading (other subheaders must be H2, H3, etc). When you describe required pictures, write those descriptions in curly brackets, for example: {A picture of a triangle} |

Dilations
Grade 8
Mathematics
30 minutes
20 students
This lesson aligns with the Common Core State Standards for Mathematics (CCSS.MATH.Content.8.G.A.3), which focuses on the understanding of transformations in the coordinate plane.
| Step Number | Step Title | Length | Details |
|---|---|---|---|
| 1 | Introduction to Dilations | 5 min | Briefly explain the concept of dilations. Introduce vocabulary: scale factor, center of dilation. Use visual aids to illustrate. |
| 2 | Direct Instruction | 10 min | Go through examples of dilations on the board. Show how to find the scale factor using coordinates and diagrams. Emphasize key formulas. |
| 3 | Guided Practice | 5 min | Students will practice with a partner dilating a figure using given scale factors and centers of dilation on their graph paper. |
| 4 | Independent Practice | 5 min | Distribute worksheets. Students will complete problems related to dilations independently. Provide support as needed. |
| 5 | Review and Closure | 5 min | Go over the answers to the homework without asking students to present. Provide clarification on any common misunderstandings. |
Students will be assigned practice problems related to dilations, reinforcing the concepts learned during the lesson. The homework will be collected but not presented in front of the class to encourage individual learning and reduce anxiety.
