    Scratch Selection - Improving our code

    Can we now improve our code so that we also tell the user what the correct answer was if they go it wrong?

    Control

    Above is an example of another maths question for our quiz, with the answer included.
    See if you can add some more quesions of your own to your maths quiz before we start keeping score

    Don't forget to update your objectives

    If you are now confident using if else blocks then make it green, if you still need more practice make it amber,
