Kindergarten

2. Demonstrate use of input devices. Examples: Mouse, touch screen, keyboard

First

3. Construct elements of a simple computer program in collaboration with others. Examples: Block programming, basic robotics, unplugged programming.

Second

3. Construct elements of a simple computer program using basic commands . Examples: Digital block - based programming, basic robotics.

4. Identify bugs in basic programming. Examples: Problem - solving, trial and error.

Third

7. Test and debug a given program in a block - based visual programming environment using arithmetic operators, conditionals, and repetition in programs, in collaboration with others. Examples: Sequencing cards for unplugged activities, online coding practice.

Fourth

7. Create a working program in a block - based visual programming environment using arithmetic operators, conditionals, and repetition in programs, in collaboration with others.

6. Create a working program in a block - based visual programming environment using arithmetic operators, conditionals, and repetition in programs.

7. Identify variables.

8. Demonstrate that programs require known starting values that may need to be updated appropriately during the execution of programs. Examples: Set initial value of a variable, updating variables.
