Aligned Lessons
K.AP.A.01
141 LessonsConstruct and execute algorithms (set of step-by-step instructions) that includes sequencing and simple loops to accomplish a task, both independently, collaboratively, with or without a computing device (e.g. verbally, kinesthetically, with robot devices or a programming language, block coding).
Aligned Lessons
K.AP.V.01
2 LessonsWith guidance, recognize that numbers represent different types of data using numbers or other symbols (e.g. thumbs up/thumbs down for yes/no color by number, arrows for direction, encoding/decoding a word using numbers or pictographs).
Aligned Lessons
