Grade 1 Technology Computational Thinker Unit
Overview
During the second quarter, first graders 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 create a line of code that loops in order to program a friend to dance. They will learn how coding is made up of many different patterns.
