This lesson is a comprehensive introduction to using variables in the coding program Scratch. By tapping into student's love of video games, this lesson builds up their understanding of variables, culminating in them incorporating what they learned in the making of their own game. Embedded throughout are connections to the math curriculum as students learn how variables are used in algebra.

Included in this lesson package is the lesson plan, slides for teaching the lesson, a minds-on activity, the required handouts, and an extended version of the slides, if you want to take the lesson further!
