Included

This resource includes: 

  • 2 Standards Based lessons that give you flexibility in how you teach your students to write their own algorithms for robots. These lessons help you teach with robotos whether you have 1, 5, or 25 robots. Standards listed below.
  • Page of suggested robots that are developmentally appropriate for young children. 
  • 6 unplugged activities task cards included. Activities include programming boogie, mirror me, programmer says, partner brick coding, dot-to-dot coding, and osmo coding. 
  • Materials and directions included for these unplugged activities: programming boogie, mirror me, and programmer says. 
  • Directional coding planning cards that help students deliberately plan an algorithm before executing it with a robot. This makes it easier to debug most robot algorithms. 
  • Slideshow to help facilitate the lesson. The slideshow includes coding terms, unplugged activities, station choice board, and reflection questions.

This activity meets the following standards:

AASL

  • Problem solving through cycles of design, implementation, and reflection. 
  • Recognizing capabilities and skills that can be developed, improved, and expanded.

ISTE

  • Students understand how automation works and use algorithmic thinking to develop a sequence of steps to create and test automated solutions.

CSTA

  • Develop programs with sequences & simple loops to express ideas or address a problem 
  • Create programs that include sequences, events, loops, and conditionals
