Three pencils - Shapes quiz

Scratch Project - Coder Dojo Dragon Hall 17th Jan 2015

What are computational thinking skills?

Day 3 - Multiplication game (May 2013)

Our plan for this session:

• Create a game based on answering multiplication facts and beating the clock.
• 2 sprites (actors)
• 4 backgrounds (backdrops)
• Answer 10 multiplication questions in 100 seconds.
• The final score will be calculated like so:                                                 Time remaining X Correct answers
• Score 500 points or more to win.
• This project makes much greater use of variables, operators and graphic effects and is much more challenging as a result.
