Overview
Push Scratch programming to the limits as you explore primes, Fibonacci numbers, Pascal’s triangle, and other mathematical curiosities through hands-on coding projects.
If you’re a student looking for project ideas to practice your math and coding skills, or a Scratch enthusiast just looking for something different, this is the book for you!
Discover the exciting intersection of mathematics and programming with Math Hacks for Scratch®. This book is perfect for kids, educators, and programming enthusiasts eager to learn or teach math through fun, hands-on projects using Scratch, the popular visual programming language.
You’ll see how a little bit of planning, combined with the right mathematical or coding tricks, can make complex calculations doable. These are the “hacks” mentioned in the title. You’ll write programs to speed up factoring big numbers, sort out a pizza party with Pascal’s triangle, explore Fibonacci’s famous sequence for counting rabbits, use cryptography to create unbreakable secret codes, and so much more.
Inside, you’ll find:
Whether you’re a beginning coder wanting to enhance your Scratch skills, a teacher looking to inspire students, or a parent supporting your child’s education, Math Hacks for Scratch provides the tools to turn coding projects into math adventures.
