Scratch · Lesson 4

Loops

Repetition, the first real abstraction students meet, and the concept that unlocks everything after.

What you will cover

  • Repeat, forever, and repeat-until — and when each is correct
  • Nested loops and the patterns they produce
  • Recognizing when duplicated blocks should become a loop
  • Infinite loops: why they freeze a project and how students diagnose it
  • Connecting loops back to pattern recognition from Module 1
