Isometric Dot Paper
and Dilations
Topic Index | Geometry Index | Regents Exam Prep Center


This activity uses isometric dot paper.

Questions similar to the example below will expose students to working with dot paper, dilations, and solids.

1.  On the isometric dot paper, draw another solid whose dimensions have been dilated by a scale factor of 2.

2.  On the isometric dot paper, draw another solid whose dimensions have been dilated by a scale factor of 1/2.

NOTE:  You may wish to establish a point on the paper to act as the center of the dilation and ask students to draw the rays which act upon the dilation.

 

NOTE:  A good source for dot paper masters (and many other graph type grids) is Graph Paper Masters (Blackline Masters)
