Specific Expectations
This resource is aligned with the Ontario 2020 Mathematics curriculum. The specific expectations this resource addresses are:
- C3.1 Solve problems and create computational representations of mathematical situations by writing and executing code, including code that involves sequential, concurrent, repeating, and nested events
- C3.2 Read and alter existing code, including code that involves sequential, concurrent, repeating and nested events, and describe how changes to the code affect the outcomes
Lessons Included
The lessons included in this resource are three main parts, with additional subsections. The main portions of the lesson include minds on, action, and lesson consolidation.

What can I do if I find an error? I strive to create high-quality educational resources. However, errors might be found in a resource. If you find an error, please send me a question on TPT with the error location or an email, and I will be more than happy to fix the error and reupload the resource. Please allow 24 - 48 hours for me to fix the error.
Do you provide lessons or activities that can be used with coding websites?
Please note that due to copyright reasons, there is no mention of or external links to coding websites. There is an assessment tracker and planning page that can be used with digital coding sources that might be accessible through your school/school board.
