This lesson, led by Mrs. Apia, covers dilations on the coordinate plane, focusing on the multiplicative effect of scale factors when the center of dilation is the origin. Through various examples, students learn to calculate the coordinates of dilated points by multiplying the original coordinates by the scale factor. The lesson includes examples with positive and negative coordinates, verification of methods, and dilation of geometric shapes like triangles. The session concludes with a summary of the key concepts and methods for finding dilated coordinates.
