I have been teaching Early Years for 17 years with 15 years experience in Technology education in the early years. Having taught in the UK, Sydney and Singapore, I have bought with me the knowledge and experience from technology education in early years from all of these countries.
Bring the children's mathematical knowledge of 2D shapes into practice with this easy lesson pan. Incorporate their knowledge of coding and algorithms by having them construct picture and images using circles and squares.
This lesson plan gives children an opportunity to put into practice the skills of writing algorithms along with other computational thinking skills such as logical thinking, collaboration and problem solving.
Computing includes digital technologies such as calculators, spreadsheets, dynamic geometry software, and computer algebra and graphing software. Students use technology effectively and appropriately when investigating, creating and communicating ideas and information, including in represen
Coding becomes simple when linked through the curriculum. This lesson immerses children into the story of Rosie's walk and enables them to learn to become better coders by following her path through the farm. By starting outdoors and getting children to feel what it's like to be given instructions and to follow those instructions will make the coding element of the bee-bot a lot easier.
Have fun constructing, being problem solvers and thinking logically as the children build the story. Program
