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

Ask where the centre is, whether the image stays on the same ray and which measures scale by the factor or its square. Take a break when you need one.
