Description
Are you introducing computer science to your elementary students? This maze activity teaches algorithms and the importance of step-by-step instructions.
Students help a character complete tasks on a grid, followed by writing a program.
Standards Alignment
CSTA
- K-2 1A-AP-08 Model daily processes by creating and following algorithms (sets of step-by-step instructions) to complete tasks.
- K-2 1A-AP-09 Develop programs with sequences and simple loops to express ideas or address a problem.
- 3-5 1B-AP-15 Test and debug (identify and fix errors) a program or algorithm to ensure it runs as intended.
Math
- 5.G.A Graph points on the coordinate plane to solve real-world and mathematical problems.
This free version includes black and white copies of the following:
- Three different grid sheets
- Program sheet
- Code cutouts
If you like this resource, be sure to check my paid versions which include:
- Color versions
- 15 plus different grid sheets
- Three levels of program sheets. ( pick up, jump, loops)
