Code monkey and iterations (Investigation)

Online: Frozen Pattern Designs and More

There are plenty of online programs that use loops so you can quickly use different iterations. You can try this Frozen themed game from the Hour of Code site completely free. 

In class you may want to try this lesson together using a free version of Code Monkey.

Or you can try using Scratch - a completely free website.

This is a screenshot from Scratch.

These instructions would move a character around a screen. How do you think the character would move? How does the character know which way to turn? 

Which part would be the instruction that shows that this is an iteration?

Unplugged Activity: Dancing Loops

Remember that loops and iterations are the same thing. Just like we can say multiply or times to mean the same thing. Here you can learn a dance with loops.
