Describing Dilations

Help students deepen their understanding of dilations on the coordinate plane with this eighth-grade geometry worksheet! In Describing Dilations, learners are given coordinate planes that show a preimage and its dilated image. Students are asked to describe the dilations depicted on eight different coordinate planes. This worksheet is helpful practice for students as they learn about transformations on the coordinate plane. For practice completing and graphing dilations on the coordinate plane, having students complete the Dilations on the Coordinate Plane worksheet.
