Intro Programming with Blocks

Track quiz

Check the five ideas below. Then try the quiz.

Blocks — what to know before the quiz
IdeaWhat to remember
Snap blocksA block is one instruction. Blocks run in order.
OrderThe same blocks in a new order can end somewhere new.
RepeatA repeat block runs the blocks inside it many times.
IfAn if block runs its blocks only when the check is true.
DebuggingA program does exactly what its blocks say.

What is a block in this track?

  • A typed line of code
  • One instruction you snap onto other blocks
  • A picture the sprite draws

The sprite faces right. It runs Move forward, then Turn left, then Move forward. Where does it end?

  • Two squares to the right
  • Two squares up
  • One square right and one square up

Which program moves the sprite five squares forward?

  • Repeat 4 times: Move forward
  • Repeat 5 times: Move forward
  • Repeat 1 time: Move forward

An if wall ahead block runs. The way ahead is clear. What happens to the blocks inside it?

  • They run slowly
  • The program stops
  • They are skipped

A program stops short of the flag. What is the best first step?

  • Add more blocks until it works
  • Run it and watch where the sprite goes wrong
  • Run it again and hope

Next: Data & Patterns I. Collect data, sort it, read a chart.
