PLC Special: Scratch Part One

You're going to learn how to create your very own game on the computer. To do that, you're going to use a program called Scratch.

First watch this introduction to Scratch.
We're going to start with a simple maze-type game.

Here's one example - play it.

Here's another example Mark, a sixth grader at Edgemere, created.

I made video directions to a maze game I created. You may use those directions to help you make your own game. You can also change what I did to make a more exciting, entertaining game.

Prime or Composite, Equivalent Fractions and Area and Perimeter

1. What is a Prime Number?

2. Prime Landing - get to 2,000

3. Math Puppies - get to 2nd level

4. Which One is Prime? - get above 2,000

5. Fruit Shoot - up to 50, twice as many hits as misses
