Learn to Program Scratch- Task Cards LEVEL 3
By Howlin' Husky Math Games
Do you have an extra day when you'd love to take the entire class on an adventure of fun and excitement? Maybe you have a group of lightning-fast learners who breeze through assignments in no time. Giving them more of the same problems they've already mastered would be a wasted opportunity. So why not shake things up? How about introducing them to a thrilling world of discovery, with absolutely NO EXTRA WORK for you?
Programming!
Introducing "Learn to Program Scratch" task cards! (This is LEVEL 3 of the series) These cards bring to life Scratch, a visually captivating computer programming language created by none other than MIT. Every student should have a taste of programming, and as math teachers, we hold the key to open this amazing door. Computer programming is the ultimate fusion of math and logic, and brace yourself... it's also fun!
Prepare to witness a spark of interest in your students! For many of them, the vast world of coding remains an enigma, with no clue where to begin. And let's face it, not all schools offer a comprehensive computer science curriculum. But fear not! These task cards act as a stepping stone, paving the way for their journey into the realms of Java, Python, JavaScript, C#, and more!
Hold on tight, because here's what's packed inside this treasure trove:
- 4 games to create, each with 4 task cards. A total of 16 Task Cards!
Rock, Paper, Scissors
Dodge Ball
Jumping Game
Whack-A-Mole
- Each card boasts a different level of challenge: N00b, Coder, Hacker and Hacker+!
- Need a guiding light? We've got you covered with a full answer key.
- Flexibility at its finest! These games can be done in any order, allowing you to print out one or two sets, laminate them for extra durability, and share them with multiple students!
- The cards are color-coded, following the Scratch theme. And hey, we understand if color printing isn't an option, so we've also labeled them for your convenience.
- Dive into the experience headfirst with an introduction video and a written overview of Scratch vocabulary. We're here to ensure you and your students have the smoothest journey possible!
*** Pro tip: Printing the cards on thicker paper (cardstock) and laminating them not only elevates their durability but ensures they withstand the test of time, unleashing countless moments of wonder and discovery!

Engineering Career Research and Brochure Project | Distance Learning
By Innovations in Technology
Engineering Career Research and Brochure Project has students utilize Microsoft Word or Microsoft Publisher to showcase their research about an engineering career of choice. In addition to allowing students to build skills in those programs, they also develop their skills in Internet research, reading, writing and critical thinking. In this project, students research an engineering career of their choice, following a list of required information and then create a tri-fold brochure in either Microsoft Word or Microsoft Publisher to share that information. The project was created for grades 7-8 but could easily be adapted for older students.
This lesson is great for distance learning/remote learning. You can upload it to your school's learning management system (Google Classroom, Edmodo, Canvas, etc.) or share with students via Google Drive.
Files Included with this Lesson
• Teacher Notes and Resources
• Student Expectations & Rubric - Research & Brochure Project
