Basic Coding and Programming for Primary 2

Coding is

• a type of dance

• a method of communication

• the process of writing computer programs

• a cooking technique

Which of the following is an example of a sequence in coding?

• Jump 3 times

• Move forward

• Step 1: Stand up, Step 2: Walk forward, Step 3: Turn left, Step 4: Sit down

A loop in coding is:

• a sequence of instructions that is continually repeated until a certain condition is reached.

• a single instruction that is executed once.

• a type of error in the code.

• a function that calls itself.

What is the benefit of using a loop instead of writing 'Jump' 3 times?

• It reduces code repetition and makes the code easier to maintain.

• It makes the code run faster.

• It allows the code to be written in multiple languages.

• It increases the complexity of the code.

A condition in coding tells the computer to:

• perform a specific action if certain criteria are met

• repeat a block of code indefinitely

• store data in a variable

• output data to the console

What happens when the green flag is clicked in the Scratch activity?

• The project starts running

• The project stops

• The project saves

• The project deletes

What will the computer show on the screen when the following code is executed? print("Hello, I am learning coding!")

• A) Hello, I am learning coding!

• B) What is your name?

• C) The sum is: 15

What does the computer do when the following code is executed?

• The computer asks the user’s name and greets them.

• The computer shuts down.

• The computer formats the hard drive.

• The computer opens a web browser.

One fun activity to help Primary 2 students learn coding is:

• Playing coding games

• Reading coding books

• Watching coding videos

• Listening to coding podcasts

What are some basic coding concepts?

• Variables, loops, and conditionals

• Functions, classes, and objects

• Data structures and algorithms

• All of the above
