Unit 8: Grade 5 Lessons

In this lesson, using Scratch, students will learn to understand and represent patterns, relating them to equivalent decimals and fractions so they understand how the size of the whole affects the size of a fraction. They will also learn to make predictions about patterns.

This lesson was originally created for the Hour of Code at code.org, alongside the Minecraft team. Students will get the chance to practice ideas that they have learned up to this point, as well as getting a sneak peek at conditionals!

Students will practice while loops, until loops, and if / else statements. All of these blocks use conditionals. By practicing all three, students will learn to write complex and flexible code.
