I can't figure out the pedagogical purpose for the "copy" tile.

Can you point me to a project that demonstrates the "copy" tile? (or
documentation on how a student could use it in a real program)

Circle Explorer - Which lets kids play with inscribing and circumscribing a circle with triangles to get a better understanding of Pi. 

Polygon Maker - The "Hand me Polygon" button uses make a sibling instance, could have used copy but I wanted the new Polygon handed to the user so they could place it where they wanted.

M&M Artifacts - This has a bunch of different samples for kids to explore multiplication, fractions and a number is all the ways you can name it.
