Coding Blocks and Loops

Coding using Blocks and Loops

Objectives:

TI.CT.5.2 break down problems into smaller parts, identify key information, and propose solutions

TI.GC.5.2 perform a variety of roles within a team using age-appropriate technology to complete a project or solve a problem.

1) Learn about blocks and loops.
2) Create a code for your partner to go through the maze using loops and blocks.

Standards:

Objectives:

Coding is using a set of instructions to communicate with computers. There are different coding languages and they all have different rules and uses, but they all give computers instructions on how to do specific tasks.

There is a maze on the floor. Here is your mission!
1) With a 1 inch voice work with your partner.
2) Create a code like the one on the
right -->
to get through the maze.
3) The team who gets through the maze the fastest and with the less amount of blocks win!​
