Hi Scratch Programmers!
I'm seeking advice on how to approach this. I'd like to make a 3-way matching game to help students with special needs learn number sets. This would be used by teachers. Students would need to match a number with it's spelled word as well as dots to visually represent the number. 

Here's how it could work:
If a student clicks the “QUIZ BY WORDS” button, then a random number word would be shown in the red square. In the blue square, 4 random numbers would be shown, with one of them the correct answer. In the green square, 4 random dot sprites would be shown, with one of these the correct answer. A student would need to drag all three matching sprites into the yellow square and click the “Check Yourself” button. The “CLICK TO RESTART” button would reset it all.

If a student clicks the “QUIZ BY NUMBER” button, then a random number would be shown in the blue square. In the red square, 4 random words would be shown, with one of them the correct answer. In the green square, 4 random dot sprites would be shown, with one of these the correct answer. A student would again need to drag all three into the yellow square and click the “CHECK MATCH” button. 

If a student clicks the “QUIZ BY DOTS” button, then a random dot sprite would be shown in the green square. In the red square, 4 random words would be shown, with one of them the correct answer. In the blue square, 4 random numbers would be shown, with one of these the correct answer. A student would again need to drag all three into the yellow square and click the “CHECK MATCH” button. 

The green dots box issue:
Whenever a Dot sprite is randomly generated, I'd like for it's costume to also be randomly generated. Each Dot sprite has 8 different costumes. 

Sprites vs. Costumes:
I've spent hours online researching matching games with sprites vs. cycling through costumes. I suppose all of these sprites could be put into 1 sprite with many costumes. Using lists and coordinating costume names and IDs are currently way above my brain grade…

Thanks so much for any help you may be able to provide.

Right now my project only does the "Quiz by Number test" and only for the number 4.
