Matha enlargements and transformations guide explains how shapes can be enlarged using different scale factors and methods, with a focus on counting squares for enlargement techniques.
- Understanding positive scale factors makes shapes larger, while fractional scale factors create smaller shapes
- The describe enlargement transformation type requires stating three key facts: transformation type, scale factor, and centre of enlargement
- Negative scale factors result in flipped and enlarged shapes
- Counting squares method involves measuring distances from the centre of enlargement and multiplying by the scale factor
- Practical examples demonstrate how to calculate new positions and verify enlargements
