Reflection Racer
Draw and translate simple shapes on the coordinate plane, and reflect them in the axes
Reflection Racer demands symmetry. If a shape is at (2, 3) and reflects in the X-axis, were does it land? Translate shapes (slide them) and reflect them (flip them) to complete the track.
This game aligns with the National Curriculum, helping students transform shapes on a coordinate grid.

Educational Benefits
Playing this game provides substantial educational benefits, specifically targeting memory recall, cognitive speed, and mathematical fluency. Regular practice helps transition mathematical facts from short-term working memory to long-term storage, which is crucial for tackling more complex problem-solving tasks without cognitive overload. It supports the National Curriculum objectives for Mathematics, helping students build confidence and competence in essential numeracy skills. The interactive, gamified environment keeps learners engaged, reducing maths anxiety and fostering a positive attitude towards learning. Parents and teachers find it an excellent resource for reinforcing classroom lessons or as an interactive homework alternative that students actually look forward to.
