The paper explores how using the Scratch programming language in mathematics lessons contributes to the development of algorithmic thinking while simultaneously consolidating mathematical concepts in Grade 4 pupils. We aim to describe the classroom approach, where pupils used Scratch to create a mathematics quiz to practice rounding numbers and written addition and subtraction up to 10,000. By taking the quizzes, they consolidated their knowledge, exchanged feedback, and improved their projects as a result. The success of the activity was measured using a case study method, where data was collected via observation, questioning, and analysis of pupils' work. Key findings indicate that pupils enjoyed creating quizzes, developing mathematical and computational skills, and were actively engaged in peer collaboration to improve their projects. All pupils were motivated, which indicated a positive effect of integrating programming into the classroom. Future improvements could include additional support for incorporating animations and providing more time for task completion.
