This game is designed as short independent practice after an idea has been introduced. It does not replace direct teaching, mathematical or scientific discussion, or an adult checking whether the learner can explain the idea away from the screen.

For parents and carers

Write every factor when checking powers, distribute across every bracket term and reverse formula operations in a balanced order. Take a break when you need one.
