Description
Spring Coding
This directional coding activity helps students practice following arrows, navigating obstacles, and planning a path on a grid. Learners build early coding skills such as sequencing, problem‑solving, and spatial awareness while having fun completing each challenge.
What’s Included:
- 15 Pages (different size grids and levels)
- 1 example to use to teach the children about directional coding
- 3 pages of 7 x 5 grids with letter & number coordinates
- 1 sheet of obstacles and arrows to cut for the 7 x 5 grids
- 3 pages of 5 x 5 grids
- 3 pages of 5 x 4 grids
- 3 pages of 4 x 4 grids
- 1 sheet of obstacles and arrows to cut for the 5 x 5, 5 X 4 & 4 X 4 grids
How to use:
- Print the grid pages that you wish to use
- Print the obstacle & arrow page that go with the corresponding grid
- Children fill in the grid by cutting what obstacles and arrows they wish to use for their grid
- As an alternative, the children can also draw their own images, obstacles and arrows on the blank pages as well as writing - Help the ________ get to the __________.
- Use as an assessment of directions/coding skills
- Use in small groups
- Use during math centres
- PRINTING SIZES -
• 11”x 8.5”
I hope you enjoy this resource.
Have fun!
