Scratch 101: Monte Carlo Simulation

Hello and welcome to Scratch 101! In this tutorial we will be learning how to use the Monte Carlo Simulation by using randomness to find the area of a 2D circle. 

Objective:
Learning about geometric figures in Scratch, Operators, Data and Randomness. 

Final Project:

Graphical Setup:
The graphical template is located here: https://scratch.mit.edu/projects/214097089/
Scripts:


Common Mistakes:
  • Filling in the numbers correctly. 
  • Make sure to have the correct order of operations (which you define by where you place the operators)
  • Make sure not to confuse positive and negative numbers
  • pen up vs. pen down.
