Description
Are you worried about how to teach the new Algebra C3 Coding Skills expectations in the Ontario Mathematics Curriculum 2020? Worry no longer, Coding mini Bytes to the rescue! I have created a series of coding challenge tasks that are designed to teach students some fundamental coding skills using an excellent, student-friendly coding platform called Code.org. My motto is “Learn coding by doing coding!”. There is no better way to learn than trying it, persevering through errors, fixing, testing and succeeding! Students LOVE these coding challenges and are so excited when even the simplest App works for the first time! This is perfect for Distance Learning and In-class as well!
New Grade 9 De-streamed Ontario Mathematics curriculum 2021 has also introduced coding expectations! My products work perfectly for this curriculum as well!
Teaching and learning coding is WAY MORE than just making a sprite jump up and down, or turn right or left moving across a screen. So many coding platforms focus on gaming tasks. Yes they are fun, but there is so much behind those games that are fundamental coding skills. ENTER Coding mini Bytes! Students will learn many fundamental skills and build progressively more complex Apps. Many of the Coding mini Bytes challenges are linked directly to specific Ontario Mathematics 2020 Curriculum expectations as well!
NOT FROM ONTARIO? NO PROBLEM! The Coding mini Bytes challenges will compliment any Computer Science, Mathematics or Coding curriculum!
NO PRIOR CODING EXPERIENCE is necessary for teachers or students! The Coding mini Bytes are tailormade to assist teachers with no experience and to guide students through many coding tricks and techniques to be successful. As the teacher, these Coding mini Bytes tasks will also help you learn and gain confidence to do more coding on your own!
TIMERS mini Bytes Challenge:
Student learn some fundamentals while making an APP that be a stopwatch type timer.
TIMERS are useful in so many different coding applications. Being able to create a timer is a great skill to have when you need it! This challenge will help students learn how to make a timer.
***Coding skills learned/revisited:***
- Timed Loops
- Events
- Variables
- Buttons
- Counters
- Commands to interact with a user screen
Coding mini Bytes are designed to assist all levels of learners so everyone can have success. As students attempt more coding challenges, they can become more self-sufficient and require fewer supports. You’ll be AMAZED at how quickly students will become “expert coders”!
This challenge comes with YouTube video STEP-BY-STEP tutorial support!
Each Coding mini Bytes challenge comes with:
- FOR TEACHERS:
- Detailed Teacher Notes
- "Where do I begin with Coding mini Bytes" teacher help guide.
- Planning instructions/suggestions
- Resource supports for Teacher and Students
- How to setup and get started with Code.org accounts and using App Lab
- Sample published coding solution
- All support documentation on how to get started and implement the challenge
- FOR STUDENTS:
- Introduction to App Lab Design Elements (Google Slideshow walking students through the basic Design Elements available for building an App. Perfect for new users of Code.org).
- Challenge Task Card (outlining the requirements of the coding challenge)
- App Planning Sheet for teacher to model pre-planning and students to think through the requirements prior to coding.
- Block Info Cards giving detailed descriptions of many common coding block commands in student-friendly language.
- Student Instructions document (providing more support and guidance for students)
- STEP-BY-STEP instructions to support students that need more assistance. The step-by-step support is provided by:
- YouTube video link. Detailed video embedded in a Google Slides file that is good for instruction and learning. Videos are 15 - 30 minutes in length and are meant for teaching as well as doing the coding. The videos can be used as lessons and are not just mindless videos for students to just duplicate what is in the video without learning WHY things are done.
- EXIT TICKET/QUIZ in Google Forms. Consolidate the task with a short 5 - 10 question quiz. All multiple choice and automatically scored for instant feedback!
