Scaling is normally how much an ability's damage increases as you get stats/items. They're also called ratios, and are denoted in parenthesis besides the ability description on this wiki. For example, throws 10 daggers, each of them doing 0.5 times her attack damage and 0.25 times her ability power, so the total scaling/ratio would be 5 AD and 2.5 AP, which is pretty high. Champions that scale well are normally called carries.

That was probably a pretty poor description, but I hope it helps.
