Students are to use this to help them POWERUP their ability to do more things in THEIR OWN projects. Teachers can use this as a tool to teach students multiplication. The sum (or total degrees of spinning) is the total number of objects organized into groups (repeat block) and objects (rotate block & degrees). I used an "X" to signify multiplication.
Utah Standard 3.OA.1 Interpret products of whole numbers, such as interpret 5 × 7 as the total number of objects in 5 groups of 7 objects each. For example, describe a context in which a total number of objects can be expressed as 5 × 7. Math unlocks the power of Scratch. "Project PowerUPs" are conceptual tools that can be inserted into the Coder Resources for ANY project to give greater understanding to students to be able to control their projects better.
