Coding with mazes

First grade

ISTE standard.

5a: Students formulate problem definitions suited for technology-assisted methods such as data analysis, abstract models and algorithmic thinking in exploring and finding solutions.

Third Grade

Driving question: How can we use Minecraft to explain our understanding of code?

Content objective: Students will be able to create an array in Minecraft and then use code to navigate a player through the puzzle from the beginning to the end.

Language Objective: Students will be able to successfully code through their maze from start to finish using blocky coding.

Third Grade

Third grade students use coding to create basic algorithms in the form of directions. The algorithms were made up of commands in a sequence of logical steps, as well as fraction and multiplication problems, which were used to navigate through mazes.

Students created blueprints of mazes based on the codes they've created.

Third grade students shared life sized versions of their mazes in augmented reality with fourth grade students.
