11 Mid-Point  Where can the midpoint of the segment joining two points each on a separate circle, get to?

12 Scaling P Q M Imagine a circle C. Imagine also a point P. Now join P to a point Q on C. Now let M be the mid point of PQ. What is the locus of M as Q moves around the circle?

13 Additive & Multiplicative Perspectives  What is the relation between the numbers of squares of the two colours?  Difference of 2, one is 2 more: additive  Ratio of 3 to 5; one is five thirds the other etc.: multiplicative
