Bonus coding challenges encourage independent experimentation"--

Review Quotes: "Inspired by the author's grandchildren, this book offers up a playful approach to mathematics learning using the block-based coding language pioneered by Scratch. Dr. Michael Mays has done a compelling job of using a creative coding platform to enliven and enrich young people's engagement with math, by using coding to engage with numbers, puzzles, and patterns."
--Margaret Honey, President & CEO, Scratch Foundation

"Michael Mays' Math Hacks for Scratch is a combination of code and calculation that I wish I had as a student. It takes the challenges you find in math books and adds a Scratch programming twist. These 33 projects are more fun than doing math on a boring whiteboard."
--Al Sweigart, software developer and bestselling author of Automate the Boring Stuff with Python
