Scratch Coordinates Worksheet

Contributed by ben johnson, June 02, 2014
Students can write their names using Scratch coordinates. I created a grid of coordinates to help them plan it out.

  • Keywords: coordinates, write name
I figured writing their names would be a good start.  The coordinates can be a bit tricky so I created this worksheet (attached) with the grid of coordinates.  You can print these and have students write their names (block style) and then transfer the coordinates into their program.  By the way, you can use this worksheet for any Scratch project that utilizes coordinates.  The educational purpose of this project is to teach the coordinate system and programming concepts.  4th and 5th graders should be able to handle it.

Here’s the screencast and finished example:

Thank you for this I'm going to use it tomorrow to help my code club get to grips with co-ordinates and on screen navigation.
