No computer needed for these coding worksheets. Students run the code on paper using their pencil. There are 6 Computer Programming Problems that have students follow basic command codes that instruct a character how to find his way to a destination. The focus of these problems is on Repeat Blocks. These unplugged problems work great with students just beginning to learn code or even those preparing to take the AP Computer Science Principles Exam. If you use Scratch or Code.org or any other programming language, this is great practice for students learning to read code on paper. If offers a chance for the teacher to receive feedback as well as a chance for students to discuss the code and defend their solution. In this Camping Theme set of problems, the same code gets run on three different setups.

What teachers are saying:
"Some of my math grade 3 students were lobbying for an opportunity to do coding in class. When I announced that I'd look into a paper option for coding, they were aghast. However, when we worked on the first set of mazes in this collection, they LOVED them! Using Lego brick imagery for the coding steps makes the code especially kid friendly. It was a perfect level of challenge to change the orientation of the "camper" on each maze so the kids had to think through the commands from a different perspective. Thank you!"
