Pixelation Dilations


Instructions

Use your understanding of dilations to recreate the target pixel art. Early levels ask you to identify the correct scale factor. As you progress, you'll determine both the scale factor and the center of dilation, work with figures that extend beyond the grid, and eventually create your own pixel art dilation. This educational game encourages exploration, experimentation, and geometric reasoning.

Introduction

Pixelation Dilations is a free educational math game that helps students master dilations through colorful pixel art. Players explore how scale factors and centers of dilation transform figures while recreating pixel art images. With 20 levels of increasing challenge, students progress from simple dilations to finding both the scale factor and center of dilation before designing their own pixel art creations.

WHY THIS GAME MATTERS

Why students love this game:

  • Creates colorful pixel art

  • Interactive visual learning

  • Gradually increasing challenge

  • Ends with creative open-ended design

Skills students build:

  • Understanding scale factors

  • Finding the center of dilation

  • Visualizing geometric transformations

  • Spatial reasoning

  • Precision and problem-solving

Great For

This free educational dilation game is perfect for:

  • Geometry transformations units

  • Learning and practicing dilations

  • Exploring scale factor and center of dilation

  • Students who enjoy visual and creative activities

  • Classroom practice or enrichment

EXPLORE DILATIONS

Dilations enlarge or reduce figures while preserving their shape. Throughout the game, students discover how changing the scale factor or center of dilation affects an entire image. By experimenting with different transformations, players build an intuitive understanding of similarity and geometric transformations instead of simply memorizing procedures.

CREATE YOUR OWN PIXEL ART

The final levels encourage creativity by allowing students to design their own pixel art using dilations. Instead of solving a single problem, students apply everything they've learned to create original geometric artwork, reinforcing mathematical concepts through creative exploration.

Accessibility Matters

Pixelation Dilations is designed with accessibility in mind so more students can enjoy learning geometry.


Accessibility features include:

  • Full keyboard operability

  • High color contrast

  • Alt text for important visuals

  • Screen reader support with clear readouts


We believe educational games should be accessible to every learner.
