Write down two examples where the app seems to be keeping track of a piece of information or
using it to make a decision:

● Example 1: How many times I click

● Example 2: When I buy a upgrade

Step 2​: Operators

Make a copy of the ​digital manipulatives​ and share with your

partner.
● On a sticky note, make one number and one string. The number should be on a yellow
sticky note, and the string on a pink sticky note. Paste a screenshot of your sticky note

variable below:
● Evaluate these expressions. Make sure you pay attention to whether it evaluates to a
string or a number. Paste your sticky notes with your answers in the spaces provided:

Step 4: ​ Variables in programs

● Give the values of the variables at the end of the program by creating bags with the
appropriate names and putting a sticky note in the appropriate bag. Take a screenshot
and paste your results below:

Code Value of Variables

00​ var pizza
01​ pizza ← ​3
02​ var tacos
03​ pizza ← ​“yum”
04​ tacos ← ​“the best”
● Give the values of the variables at the end of the program by creating bags with the
appropriate names and putting a sticky note in the appropriate bag. Take a screenshot
and paste your results below:

Code Value of Variables

00​ var zow
01​ var fly
02​ fly ← ​“to”​ + ​“day”
03​ zow ← ​4​ - ​1
04​ fly ← ​3​ * ​3
05​ zow ← ​4​ + ​“now”
● Give the values of the variables at the end of the program by creating bags with the
appropriate names and putting a sticky note in the appropriate bag. Take a screenshot
and paste your results below:
Code Value of Variables
00​ var fuzz
01​ var clip
02​ fuzz ← 5
03​ clip ← fuzz + 2
04​ fuzz ← clip + 1
05​ clip ← “gr” + fuzz
06​ fuzz ← fuzz + 1
