Grade K Technology Computational Thinker Unit

OVERVIEW

During the first quarter, kindergarteners will learn how coding is used in their life through the use of algorithms and sequencing. They will learn how to program a robot to move in a variety of directions. Students will be able to identify patterns in order to plan a path or sequence that their robot will travel to reach a target.

Lessons
