Stretch a copy by a scale factor k and watch it tile with k × k copies of the original (or stack k × k × k cubes) — lengths scale by k, areas by k², volumes by k³.
Drag the corner of a copy to set the scale factor k and the enlarged square tiles itself with k × k copies of the original, while the cube mode stacks k × k × k unit cubes and the real-unit mode multiplies a 2 cm × 3 cm rectangle's area by k². It drills 7.G.1 scale copies with the grade-8 volume extension and targets the misconception that doubling the sides doubles the area. Best for Grades 7–8.
