Description
It's time to demonstrate for loops and variables mastery. Text-based coding can also do pixel graphics. That's why I created this short activity so kids can have fun 'drawing' as they learn how to sequence!
Each student gets their own character. There are 37 different characters ranging in difficulty from moderately challenging to fairly hard. You get to decide how "thick" the design must be as well as the size of the output in rows & columns, plus, whether or not the design should be vertically and/or horizontally centered.
These projects challenge students to use helper functions to create their designs. However, they can also be used with just for loops and variables.
Levels 1, 2 & 3
These resources may be used consecutively or concurrently depending on the level of your students.
✸ Some school boards may call a coding project an exit ticket or culminating activity. ✸
Why 37 versions?
☞ Perfect for classrooms where the seating is tight.
☞ Differentiated instruction is built into every assessment.
☞ Encourages student interaction & discussion.
☞ Minimizes student copying.
Materials have also been modified in English (UK) where necessary.
Duration: Three 75-minute periods.
