Tell the class the you're going to think about the sequence of getting dressed.
- What should we put on first?
- What should we put on next?
- What should we put on last?
Either:
- Using the Clothing Items sequence cards, ask the students if there is more than one order in which we can get dressed?
or
- Using the website and Student lesson, ask move the clothing items from one box to another. Is there is more than one order in which we can get dressed?
A computer needs to have a sequence of steps to solve the problem.

Student will learn how to code an Algorithm using Block coding in Scratch Jr on the iPad. Students will find different ways to get from one point to another.
Students can either work in pairs or individually.
Challenge 1
Challenge 1
- Turn on the grid on Scratch Junior
- Place the Cat in grid position 3 x 3
- Code the Cat to move to position 7 x 7
How many coding steps did you use?
Take a Screenshot and add it to SeeSaw and explain what you did.
Challenge 2
Challenge 2
- Find another route to get to position 7x7.
Take a Screenshot of your code and add it to Seesaw and explain if this was a quicker router or not.
Challenge 3
Challenge 3
Are there any quicker ways to get to the position 7x7?
Extension Challenge
Extension Challenge
Add a second character. Add an exit.
Try getting to other positions multiple positions on the grid.
