Coding Algorithms Unplugged Mazes
This FREEBIE allows students to practice their unplugged directional coding skills. How will you get the monster to his home? These algorithm mazes are an unplugged way for students to work through the logical sequence of coding an algorithm, which is just a set of instructions or directions to follow. These are best done in pairs. Student #1 is the computer programmer and creates the algorithm for student #2 , who is the computer robot, to complete. Student #2 must follow the algorithm exactly
