Abstract: Tasks with symmetries in a square from the online competition “Viva Mathematics with a computer” with an emphasis on the provided auxiliary files are presented. A specific way to organize the colour change of a square to a square n×n as a result of clicking on it, by changing the transparency of a button in GeoGebra, is described. The results of a survey for evaluation of the tasks as an educational resource are analysed. Results of students’ decisions on these tasks at the Viva Mathematics with Computer competition are presented.

Keywords: symmetry; digital competence; GeoGebra; critical thinking; flexibility of thinking; completeness of decision; gamification
