Problem



Have you ever tried drawing the same picture but a different size?

Here is a very simple picture of a cat's face, drawn on a square grid:

Scale Draw


The grid lines on this picture will help to make it easier to draw different sizes.

Using grid lines to help you, can you draw the same cat's face but twice as wide and twice as high?

Can you draw the cat's face half as wide and half as long?

You may like to use this sheet with the grids drawn for you.

We would love to receive your pictures, so please do scan them in and send them to us.
