Dilate a figure on the coordinate plane when the center of dilation is the origin.
The core standards covered in this lesson
G.CO.A.2 — Represent transformations in the plane using, e.g., transparencies and geometry software; describe transformations as functions that take points in the plane as inputs and give other points as outputs. Compare transformations that preserve distance and angle to those that do not (e.g., translation versus horizontal stretch).
G.SRT.A.2 — Given two figures, use the definition of similarity in terms of similarity transformations to decide if they are similar; explain using similarity transformations the meaning of similarity for triangles as the equality of all corresponding pairs of angles and the proportionality of all corresponding pairs of sides.
The foundational standards covered in this lesson
8.G.A.3 — Describe the effect of dilations, translations, rotations, and reflections on two-dimensional figures using coordinates.

Problems designed to teach key points of the lesson and guiding questions to help draw out student understanding
Sketch the dilation of the following figure by a scale factor of $$2$$ with a center of dilation of $$D$$. What is your process for dilating this figure?
Use the graph below to answer the questions that follow:
Multiply JUST the $${{x-}}$$coordinate by $$3$$. Plot the point and label the point $$A$$.
Multiply JUST the $${{y-}}$$coordinate by $$3$$. Plot the point and label the point $$B$$.
Multiply both the $${{x-}}$$ and $${{y-}}$$coordinate by $$3$$. Plot the point and label the point $$C$$.
Dilate the following figure when the center of dilation is the origin and the scale factor is 1.5.
A task that represents the peak thinking of the lesson - mastery will indicate whether or not objective was achieved
Scale the following figure by the rule shown when the center of dilation is the origin.
$${(x,y)\rightarrow\left ( \frac{2}{3}x,\frac{2}{3}y \right )}$$
