Secret codes

What is “Secret codes”?

Secret codes is a 5th grade coding skill in the Binary & Codes region of the TernQuest map — on, off & secret codes. It is aligned to California Common Core standard 1B-NI-04. Children work through 0 grade-tagged questions at the apply level (applying the idea), and Pip the tern offers a hint — never the answer — when they get stuck.

How does it unlock?

Skills on the map unlock in order: finishing the skill before this one with a mastery score of 60 or more opens secret codes. A grown-up can also assign it directly from the dashboard, and teachers can assign it to a whole class with a join code.
