** Video Description **
In this Scratch operators tutorial, we explore each block in the operators category. Each block is either a boolean or reporter block. We investigate how to remember the less than and greater than symbols in maths. We also explore some operations that we can do with strings. The mod operator is discussed as well as the rounding blocks.
** What is Surfing Scratcher? **
Surfing Scratcher wants to show learners, students, educators and teachers how to learn mathematics through coding games online with Scratch 3 programming projects. Whether you are a Scratch beginner, or you're an educator wondering how to use Scratch in your classroom or looking for lessons & resources for your classroom, Surfing Scratcher is here to help you on your journey.

this is one of the single most helpful videos on operators, ive got a way better understanding now. Than you!

[@matrousrevamp]

your video made me fully understand operators. So i appreciate it.

Thanks ik I’m late but I’m here. I didn’t know what the mod block did so thanks . ALSO YOUR THEMIST DEDICATED SCRATCHER IVE EVER SEEN so keep up the good work : D

[@mneum1]

I would LOVE to see a video full of ideas for clues / escape room activities, especially ones appropriate for the classroom. What a great way to get students curious to start a class!

[@mneum1]

Also, these videos are gold. Thank you for putting them in the world.

[@SurfingScratcher]

Hi Mike, thanks for your comment. I love your suggestion and it has sparked my curiosity. Are you suggesting a video for general classroom escape themes/activities, or a video that shows learners how to make an escape clue/game on Scratch? I could see a whole unit whereby you spark learners with an escape room, then they could create their own in groups, build aspects of it in Scratch and then the rest of the class could participate, too!

[@mneum1]

@@SurfingScratcher I think both are great ideas! Scratch seems like such a perfect platform for gamifying learning objectives by turning them into spaces students can explore and tinker with until they "unlock" something. I know there are so many clue/puzzle/mystery possibilities hiding in those blocks!

[@SurfingScratcher]

@@mneum1 So cool. I'm gonna make this a priority for the new year. Maybe a foundational video first on creating a lock in Scratch. Maybe even using some cloud variables as I'm yet to explore those, as I suspect that would be a good way to 'hide' solutions. Then it could branch out into more escape room generalisations. I'm shifting into relief teaching next year, so should be a useful playground to test out some of these ideas! If you have any links to projects you've tried send them across. 🤙

rock hard abssss

[@yogeshbhole2006]

I like your video 😊 but I didn't understand that how to apply it to the game which I make

[@rakshithrathish9977]

How do you add the mod operator inside programs?

[@SurfingScratcher]

I use the mod operator when I want to find odd and even numbers. Say when I'm creating a checkered grid and I want each box alternated. I can use a mod for that. If I divide a number by 2, it will have no remainder when the number is even and a remainder of 1 when it's odd. That's just one application. When applying it in other contexts, just ask yourself if a remainder is useful.

[@jestemkacper129]

cool. Where to put round block so it can work?

[@SurfingScratcher]

It's a reporter block. It reports on or 'reads' a value. You use them in any oval shape.

[@szchren]

Do you make your sprites available so kids can use them to follow along?

[@SurfingScratcher]

I make most Scratch projects available so others can follow along with the video :)

[@leomundis1786]

Is it okay to have this? andand I would think so, but Im making a project that should probably need this, and it's not working.

[@SurfingScratcher]

Yep, it should work. It would mean that all 3 conditions MUST be true. If any of the conditions is false, then it's will return false. Test simply with expected results first. Then test with variables etc.

[@memoricagraphics2156]

where is these sprites? please

[@andrzejpakistan3200]

One of the abs, floor, sin etc. operators is E

[@UniQueLyEviL]

How did you make/find the boolean true/false sign? I see how you can draw a sign in paint, but I don't see how to get the red and green buttons to be interactive. Update: I figured it out by watching your simple state machine video! :D

[@SurfingScratcher]

Amazing! Great detective work :)

how do i turn a circle operator into a block

can you show us like how to use each one pls

could you please please please please... PLEEEEASE make a video about the e^ one

Hi Fang, e has more to do with maths than Scratch, so I recommend checking out the Khan Academy videos that explain the math behind it.

[@breadisyummy_]

anyone know how the round operator actually works, im trying to round something to the nearest 45 instead of 10

[@SurfingScratcher]

Round works on decimal values. To round to 45 or some other integer, you'll need to use an if block with a condition. If less than 45, set to 45

[@breadisyummy_]

@@SurfingScratcher ok

[@breadisyummy_]

Ok, so If (direction) less than 45, then Repeat until (direction) equals 0 Turn left 5 degrees Else If (direction) less than 90, then Repeat until (direction) equals 90 Turn right 5 degrees And so on

[@breadisyummy_]

@@SurfingScratcher before I was trying to do some complex exponent division rounded and then multiplied but that just got me the 1.5 bit integer limit or something

[@SurfingScratcher]

@@breadisyummy_ Yeah something like this. Just be clear on the ranges that you're trying to account for and create conditions for those ranges.

Hi Uk Dave, did you check out the Scratch project? If not, here it is: scratch.mit.edu/projects/320011095/ Check out the sign costume. In terms of making the actual sign, I just drew it. That aspect was outside the scope of the tutorial as the focus was on operators. Would you be interested in a drawing tutorial in a future video?

SCRATCHY QUESTION: Leave your question about Operator blocks below.

[@imperialprime7991]

i still needmore help on how to use the MOD block i have a quiz tomorrow!

[@SurfingScratcher]

@@imperialprime7991 Hi and thanks or your message. How is your understanding of division? Say you have 18 eggs and you want to pack those eggs into cartons that have 6 spaces. How many cartons would you fill? You would fill 3 cartons because: 18 ÷ 6 = 3 Here, we are skip counting in 6s. Each time we reach a multiple of 6, we need a new carton. Say, we had 19 eggs this time. We’d still fill 3 cartons but we have 1 left over: 19 ÷ 6 = 3 remainder 1 We could start filling the spaces of the 4th carton of eggs now. MOD tells us how many we have left over. It’s the remainder. We could write the first example like this to show that it fits perfectly. 18 % 6 = 0 Then, to show that we have an extra one left over, we’d write it like this: 19 % 6 = 1 The Scratch operator would look like this (19 mod 6) and that would evaluate to 1. I would encourage you to use the mod operator in Scratch to create some more examples and predict what the result is. Here some to get you started: 12 ÷ 6 = 2 so 12 % 6 = ? 15 ÷ 5 = 3 so 15 % 5 = ? 17 ÷ 5 = 3 remainder 2 so 17 % 5 = ?

[@imperialprime7991]

Surfing Scratcher Awesome thanks so much! My computer science class use a program called Snap. It’s pretty much looks the same by what I see in your video. I just need to see what can of things I can use with it like a game or run it with something just to see how it works with other blocks attached

[@SurfingScratcher]

​@@imperialprime7991 I find the mod operator useful when I am creating grids. If I want 5 columns in my grid and I start adding row items, when I get to the 5th column, I know that mod == 0 so that's a flag for me to start a new line. Here's some pseudocode with a variable called counter: // I want 5 Columns and 4 Rows Repeat 20 times if ( [length of counter] mod 5) == 0 then start a new row do that by increasing y value or adding 1 to a row count etc. add item to counter -> (length of counter + 1) You could also use the remainder of mod as a multiplier to move the x value of an item. counter MOD 5 = 1 then 1 * 50 = 50 then 2 * 50 = 100 then 3 * 50 = 150 ...
