Coders use a variety of blocks and sprites to create a story about a wizard who either helps people or plays pranks on them. The purpose of this project is to reinforce understanding of message blocks to give the appearance of switching costumes.

This two-part lesson on 'The Amazing Adaptations of Earth’s Organisms' that aligns with Texas Essential Knowledge & Skills Standards for 4-5th Grade Science and Art.

Now it's time for a really meaty problem! How can we count the number of possible casts when given a large set of robots to choose from?

We need to be careful with the order of scaling and translation. But why?

The 4 Connections is a research-based equity producing framework that focuses on building intentional relationships between students and faculty in ways that increase the number of student completions, reduce equity gaps, and ensure the quality of student learning.
The 4 Connections identifies foundational principles faculty with high completion rates use to dramatically improve the quality of students' experiences in and outside the classroom.

Great lead up game for soccer. It is a way for students to practice the skills they have learned, and practiced. Easier way to assess students, because of smaller numbers on the move.

Tree diagrams allow us to visualize these counting problems using any number of parts.
