Algebra style maths quiz in Scratch
Year 6 have continued their understanding of Scratch and started to create a maths quiz with algebra by setting values for a and b. The questions are then generated automatically from the a and b values.
Today, Eagles used ‘pick random number’, ‘set value to’ blocks in their program so the user is prompted with random questions.
Mya and Cody showed the rest of the class some useful tips on how to program their quizzes.
We’ll have the completed quizzes by the end of the week.
Our completed Scratch maths quizzes
Year 6 Eagles have today completed their maths quizzes in Scratch. They continued to use the ‘If Else’ blocks and variable data blocks to program their quizzes which included a number of maths related questions.
The variable in the game was a scorecard to add a point for each correctly answered question, and takeaway a point for incorrect answers.
Here are some examples of the children’s work below. Let us know what you think.

If Else and variable blocks
During Computing today with Mr Baddhan, Year 6 started to create a maths quiz in Scratch, they used ‘If Else’ blocks to tell the program if the question is correct, then it will say “well done” else it will say “wrong try again”.
The children also included variable blocks in their program to use as a scorecard, if the correct answer was entered, then the points tally would increase.
A variable is a data block which tells the program this will change once programmed.
We will have some examples of children’s work on this blog tomorrow.

Online Safety comic strips
This week Year 6 have been looking at the importance of being safe when online. They studied different dangerous scenarios and what should be done in each situation. They then designed a super hero to guide their characters into making the right decision! Take a look at some of the posters – they’re great!
