Geometry Construction Basics Practice - Dilations

Help your students master the art of geometric dilations with this Geometry Construction Basics – Dilations practice set! Designed for use without a coordinate plane, this resource walks students through the process of constructing dilations using only a straightedge and compass. Step-by-step instructions, clear diagrams with construction markings, and multiple practice opportunities ensure students understand not just how to perform a dilation, but why it works. The included self-assessment page makes it easy to check understanding, whether for individual reflection or formal grading.

Perfect for high school geometry, Integrated Math 1, or as an enrichment activity for middle school students, this resource aligns with Common Core Standards HSG.SRT.A.1 and HSG.CO.D.12. By engaging in hands-on constructions, students strengthen their spatial reasoning, precision, and conceptual understanding of scale factors, parallelism, and proportionality. Whether you’re introducing dilations for the first time or providing extra practice for students who need more support, this set offers a structured and accessible way to make this key geometry concept click.
