4	Situations Involving Operations with Numbers	Operation of Focus	Connecting Benchmark(s)	Integrated Operations within Student and Teacher Materials
5	Lesson 27: Personal Project This lesson tasks students with creating a digital simulation of an animal's habitat. They use coding to model how an animal's survival is dependent on meeting its needs for food, water, and shelter. Students use variables to track abstract needs (like hunger and thirst) with numbers.	subtraction, comparison	SC.3.CC.1.1, SC.3.CC.1.2, SC.3.CC.1.4, SC.3.PE.1.2, SC.3.PE.3.4, SC.K12.CTR.2, SC.K12.CTR.5.1, SC.K12.CTR.7.1, MA.K12.MTR.7.1	Subtraction: The "Animal Needs (Variables)" section explains that a hunger level will "go down when the animal finds food or water." This directly represents the subtraction operation, where a numerical value is being decreased. The project guidelines explicitly instruct students to "Use Operators: You might use operators to compare needs (e.g., hunger > 80)." This is a clear example of using a comparison operation.

7	Fluency and Automaticity	Arithematic Operation of Focus	Connecting Benchmark(s)	Integrated Basic Arithmetic Facts within Student and Teacher Materials
8	Lesson: 15 Variables This lesson promotes fluency and automaticity with the arithmetic operations of adding and subtracting 1 within a computational context. By repeatedly connecting the abstract concept of a variable to the concrete action of changing its value, students build a seamless understanding of how these simple operations are used to track and manipulate data.	addition and subtraction	SC.3.PE.1.2, SC.3.PE.2.1, SC.3.PE.3.3, SC.K12.CTR.5.1, MA.K12.MTR.7.1	The lesson demonstrations with: "What if we wanted to collect data about how many points a player scores in a game? We could use a variable for 'Score,' and every time the player gets a point, we 'change score by 1.'" Student activity shows the operations: "Program a rocket that adds 1 to the score for each star it touches." "When the space key is pressed, the variable “Score” will reset to 0." "If the star is touching the rocket ship, it will change “Score” by 1..."

10	K-12 Mathematics Glossary	Term of Focus	Connecting Benchmark(s)	Integrated Terms within Student and Teacher Materials
11	Lesson 3: Advanced Motion Students physically see how changing a value for x moves the object horizontally and how changing a value for y moves it vertically. The use of positive and negative numbers to represent direction (positive X for right, negative X for left, etc.) provides a visual and intuitive way to understand the properties of a coordinate grid.	y-axis, x-axis, coordinate	SC.3.PE.1.2, SC.3.PE.3.4, SC.K12.CTR.4.1, MA.K12.MTR.2.1, MA.K12.MTR.7.1	The "Four Corners" challenge requires students to use the (x, y) coordinate system to move their sprite to specific, predetermined points The change x by 10 and change y by 10 blocks are used to demonstrate how changing a single coordinate value moves the sprite along one axis.

13	Properties of Operations, Equality and Inequality	Property of Focus	Connecting Benchmark(s)	Integrated Properties within Student and Teacher Materials
14	Lesson 22: Sensing The lesson demonstrates that actions are not random but are triggered only when a specific numerical or positional condition is met. For instance, the sprite moves to the top of the screen if its position is less than or equal to a certain y-coordinate	inequality	SC.3.PE.1.2, SC.K12.CTR.7.1 SC.K12.CTR.2.1, SC.K12.CTR.4.1, MA.K12.MTR.5.1	Inequality and Conditional Logic: The central property is conditional logic, which is a practical application of an inequality. The touching edge? block is the direct integration of this property.

16	K-12 Formulas	Formula of Focus	Connecting Benchmark(s)	Integrated Formulas within Student and Teacher Materials
17	Lesson: 25: Operators This lesson introduces students to mathematical and relational operators as tools for performing calculations and logical checks within a program.	addition, subtraction, multiplication, division	SC.3.PE.1.2, SC.3.PE.3.1, SC.K12.CTR.4.1, MA.K12.MTR.5.1	It shows students how to use these operators to create simple formulas that solve problems, such as determining if a randomly chosen number meets a specific condition or if a player's score is high enough to win.
