Coding

Grade/Class: Grade 5 Math

Context: Grade 5 students learn to code sequences and loops in Math class.

Learning: Students develop coding skills through a combination of hands-on games and the Code.org website. By utilizing these resources, students engage in interactive and experiential learning.  Students are required to formulate instructions to guide an object from a starting point to an endpoint, stimulating their logical thinking and encouraging them to envision sequential steps. Through these coding exercises, students are challenged to think critically and strategically. They must analyze the problem at hand, break it down into smaller tasks, and determine the appropriate sequence of steps to achieve the desired outcome.Coding has become an indispensable skill in our modern technological world. Learning to code equips students with essential skills necessary to navigate, communicate, and even create technology and digital media effectively.
