Mixed test
How the tests are graded
- Where does it stop? What does it draw? Read the blocks and choose – Myrtle then shows you.
- Order and spot the bug: put mixed-up blocks in order, or find the one wrong block.
- Build it and fix it: make a program with the blocks. It is run in your browser, on the grid shown and, for the later topics, on hidden grids too, so it has to really work.
Everything is graded by Classfern in your browser, straight away. Nothing you do is sent to us.
Learn first
The Programming Department has the block coding course: 18 lessons with Myrtle the Turtle, each with teaching, worked examples, practice and homework, starting with Lesson 1: Step by step: moving forward.
