OPERATORS
Year 6 Revision
• Arithmetic operators are symbols or
characters that represent different
mathematical operations.
• In Scratch, these operators are used to
perform calculations or manipulate
numbers.
HERE ARE THE COMMON
ARITHMETIC OPERATORS USED
IN SCRATCH:
Addition (+):
• The addition operator is represented by the plus sign (+). It is used to add two
numbers together.
• For example, if you have the numbers 5 and 3, you can use the addition operator to
find their sum: 5 + 3 = 8.
Subtraction (-):
• The subtraction operator is represented by the minus sign (-).
• It is used to subtract one number from another.
• For example, if you have the numbers 8 and 3, you can use the subtraction
operator to find the difference: 8 - 3 = 5.
Multiplication (*):
• The multiplication operator is represented by the asterisk (*) symbol.
• It is used to multiply two numbers together.
• For example, if you have the numbers 4 and 2, you can use the multiplication
operator to find the product: 4 * 2 = 8.
• Division (/): The division operator is represented by the forward slash (/) symbol.
• It is used to divide one number by another.
• For example, if you have the numbers 10 and 2, you can use the division operator
to find the quotient: 10 / 2 = 5.
Modulo (%):
• The modulo operator is represented by the percent sign (%).
• It is used to find the remainder after division.
• For example, if you have the numbers 10 and 3, you can use the modulo operator
to find the remainder: 10 % 3 = 1. In this case, 3 divides 10 evenly with a
remainder of 1.
