Units 4 and 5
Students learned the basics of computer coding. They were introduced to a new vocabulary word, algorithm (a list of instructions you can follow to finish a task). We brainstormed different algorithms we follow everyday like brushing our teeth, walking to the pencil sharpener or using the remote control for our tv. Then students worked with a buddy to give a verbal algorithms that would cause their buddy to walk across the room and arrive at a specific destination. Finally, students visited the website www.code.org and wrote a program for a character to follow.
