Since designing their algorithms and user interface for their maths quizzes (see last post), students in the Middle & Senior Learning Communities have created their multiple choice maths quizzes in the Tynker coding app.
Shape Quizzes
The Middle Learning Community students designed & created a multiple choice Shape Quiz, where they used their knowledge of regular polygons and created code that used repetition and branching coding concepts.
- REPEAT code blocks were used to draw the shapes, by creating code for one side of the shape and then getting the program to repeat it a certain number of times. The students had previously created algorithms to help them work out the angle to turn at each corner of the shape.
- Branching was coded by using IF-THEN-ELSE code blocks to perform different actions depending on whether the answer to a question was correct or incorrect.
Here are a couple of examples :
Amber – Year 4
Daniel – Year 5
Times Tables Quizzes
The Senior Learning Community students designed & created a multiple choice Times Tables Quiz. They coded 10 questions and kept a score on the screen. Some students were creative in the way they kept score and one student also kept a timer so the user would know how long it took them to do the quiz.
Here are a couple of examples :
Jayden – Year 6
Tomas – Year 6
Liam – Year 6
Have a go at Liam’s quiz and see if you can create a bit of peace and quiet by getting the answers correct so that the chirpy birds disappear.
really cool
