Algorithmic Thinking Lesson & Worksheet | Human Algorithms, Debugging, and Every

Looking for a fun, interactive way to introduce your students to algorithmic thinking? This resource is designed for high school Computer Science classes (perfect for 9th–10th grade) and helps students understand algorithms through hands-on, real-world activities — no coding required! Students will: Learn what an algorithm is with engaging examples. Act out “Human Algorithms” in class (like making a sandwich or drawing a smiley face). Practice writing step-by-step instructions for simple, e

Debug the Elf! | Christmas Algorithm & Sequencing Activity for Grades 2–4

There's a bug in the workshop — and it's not the kind you can squash with your boot. Eight hardworking elves have each written an algorithm for their holiday job. The only problem? Every single one of them scrambled the steps. Chip the Baker Elf wants to put cookies in the oven before mixing the dough. Dash the Delivery Elf is ready to deliver gifts before loading the sleigh. And Luma the Candle Keeper Elf has somehow decided to blow out the candle before lighting the wick. Students become junio

Lava Coding

Powerpoint slide that students can use plugged (virtually) or unplugged (printed as a packet)- your choice! Students will learn about and practice algorithms, debugging, and sequencing by creating a code to help their school mascot return to their school. I had students work in pairs. Each student does a grid on their own, switch, check and debug, then move onto the next route. Editable to insert your own mascot image and school name and picture. (5X5, 6X6, 7X7, 8X8, 9X9, 10X10 grids)- 6 grids t

Paddle & Program: A JavaScript Sequencing Adventure!

Challenge students to think like real programmers with this summer-themed unplugged coding activity! In this engaging kayak adventure, students use sequencing, algorithms, and beginner JavaScript concepts to navigate obstacles, decode code snippets, and optimize their path to the dock. Includes reflection writing, computational thinking extensions, debugging-style challenges, and a fun tech riddle to deepen understanding while keeping students engaged. Perfect for middle school STEM, computer sc

Math Puzzles: Coding Cars- Google Slides

This is a super FUN way to introduce your students to the basics of coding! This Coding Cars activity is best done on Google Slides where students can move objects and create an algorithm to "program the cars". After they create their code, they can watch the animated videos to see the cars move on the road and check their answer! (built right into the slides). It can also be done unplugged (without a computer) using the pdf worksheets. Skills practiced: sequencing, analytic thinking, pr
