I began my search for Scratch Projects by checking out what Scratch projects have been completed for a high school math class. This project below, titled "Fractal Tree," gives students the chance to work with the Scratch programming code to make fractals. (Credits to ngmr for designing a project that can show how to make fractals just by using the Scratch code).

This project, known as Algebra Solver, is a unique program that allows students who are taking Algebra I to figure out how to solve an equation using one variable, "x." Students type in numbers and the program automatically solves for x. Students can also read the chalkboard in the background to see how the equation is solved. (Credit goes to The-Whiz for creating this helpful program for students in Algebra I)

On more of a fun note, I decided to check out what games students were creating. Creating games through Scratch allow users the be creative with the program and provide opportunities to problem solve in order for the program to work. Below is an example of a game, called "Super Mario Kart 3" based off the SNES game "Super Mario Kart." Users who play this game have to get around the track without going off it at any point. They must complete 3 laps and are assigned an official time afterwards. If a user goes off the track at any point, they are automatically placed at the starting line.
