2. Functions

Functions combine single elements of code into a memorized sequence.

The Function tiles allow students to save sequences so they can be used

as many times as needed. These tiles can also be used to create Recursive

Functions and Subroutines.
Save a sequence by encasing Movement tiles within two Record

Function tiles.

Now place KUBO on a Play

Function TagTile to execute the

commands.

NOTE:

Movement tiles

should now be laid out

in a straight line.
