    • Problem Solving and Algorithm Page
      Students must
      Mark as done

      Problem-solving in programming involves breaking down a given problem into logical steps and designing an efficient algorithm to solve it. This process typically includes:

      Understanding the problem – Clarifying inputs, outputs, and constraints.

      Breaking it down – Identifying subproblems or reusable components.

      Choosing the right approach 

      Writing pseudocode – Outlining the solution before implementation.

      Implementing the solution – Writing code using the chosen approach.

      Testing and optimizing – Running test cases and improving efficiency.

    • Data Type and Variable Page
      Students must
      Mark as done

      A variable is a container that stores data values. In Snap!, variables can store different types of data, such as numbers, text, lists, or Boolean values.

      How to Create a Variable in Snap!

      • Click on the "Variables" category in the block palette.
      • Click "Make a Variable" and give it a name.
      • The variable will appear as an orange-colored block, which can be used in the script.

    • Introduction to Operators in Snap! Lesson
      Students must
      Mark as done
      Operators in Snap! are blocks used to perform mathematical calculations, logical comparisons, and string manipulations. They are located in the "Operators" category (green blocks) and help manipulate data in scripts.
    • Operators Challenge Page
      Students must
      Mark as done

      Most operator blocks need to be placed inside other blocks in order to function. Use the knowledge you have developed from previous challenges to determine the most appropriate spot to place them. The Control and Variables’ tabs are a good place to start.

  • Week 7

    • Control Structures in Snap! Programming Lesson
      Students must
      Mark as done
      Control structures in Snap! determine how the script flows, allowing you to repeat actions, make decisions, and control the sequence of execution. These structures help in looping, branching, and event handling.

      Now that you've watched the video, let's check if you can answer the following questions.

  • Week 8

    • Lists and Data Structures in Snap! Lesson
      Students must
      Mark as done
      A list in Snap! is a data structure that allows storing multiple values in a single variable. Unlike normal variables that hold a single value, lists can hold multiple items, making them useful for organizing and managing large amounts of data.

  • Week 9

    • Procedure (Custom Block) Lesson
      Students must
      Mark as done

      In Snap! programming, a procedure or custom block refers to a reusable block of code that you define to perform a specific task. These custom blocks can simplify your code, make it more modular, and reduce repetition.

    • Sensing in Snap! Lesson
      Students must
      Mark as done

      Sensing in Snap! programming refers to the ability of a sprite to detect and respond to its environment. The Sensing category provides a variety of blocks that enable interaction between sprites, user inputs, and the stage, making programs more dynamic and interactive.
