Description

Understand similarity as a relationship where one shape is an enlargement of another; construct similar shapes by enlargement with a given scale factor and centre, with and without coordinate grids

Mastery Evidence
  • Enlarge a shape by a given scale factor from a specified centre of enlargement
  • Determine the scale factor between two similar shapes by comparing corresponding sides
  • Explain why corresponding angles in similar shapes are equal while sides are in proportion
Assessment Prompt

If your child wants to enlarge a photo so it's three times bigger, can they work out the new dimensions — and explain that the shape stays the same but all lengths increase by the same factor?
