This term we will be exploring how we control computers using Algorithms.
We will be using comands such as 'left' and 'right' to control computer programs.
The chilldren will be using the Purple Mash Platform to access this. It can be also accessed at home.
This unit allows children to code using the tool, 2Go. Children learn to build simple algorithms to move a screen turtle along routes. They consider direction and distances and create commands.
Key Learning
- To use the direction keys in 2Go to move the turtle along a route.
- To use units of distance along with the direction keys in 2Go to move along a route.
- To write instructions to complete more than one step of a route at once.
- To build up instructions for a longer route.
