Math Operators with Variables

Go to Activity: Math Operators with Variables.

Complete student tasks 1-5.

Tasks

Task 1

Code: Test at least three different equations.

Shared project: Note: Simply enter the code you created to try different equations. It is okay that it does not show how many equations you tried.

Code:

Shared project:

Task 1 Challenge

Code: Make longer addition equations so that the code calculates the sum of 5 or more numbers.

Shared project:

Tasks 2

Code: Add a thirdNumber variable. Create an equation using both the addition operator (+) and the multiplication operator (*).

Shared project:

Tasks 3

Code: Add a fourthNumber variable. Create an equation using 3 different operators.

Shared project:

Task 3 Challenge

Code: Create an equation using all 4 basic operators and at least 5 unique variables.

Shared project:

Tasks 4

Code: Create 2 variables

Initialized temp C with common Celsius temp. Create an equation using a formula. Show the temp in a splash screen.

Shared project:

Task 4 Challenge

Code: Create an equation for converting back to Celsius. Note: Be sure to read the directions carefully. It suggests that you move to JavaScript to make sure the calculation works properly.

Task 5

Code: Debugging

Reflection/Homework

  1. In JavaScript, what is the resulting value of answer for answer = 5+3*2? Explain why the answer is not 30.
  2. How is putting operators and numbers into a calculator different than writing in code (example: 2+3+4*4)? Explain.
  3. Research and describe 2 other Math Operators found in the math menu in MakeCode (hover over values for more information).
  4. What did you learn about variables, data types, strings, and join?
