Description

Driving Question:

How can I learn to code?

Description:

Learning to code is something everyone can do. This project makes use of resources published for the Hour of Code and organizes them into a "hackathon" for upper elementary or middle school students. Resources are easily followed and the teacher can learn with the students in a collaborative environment.

The project uses the Rank and Reason Tool and video to kickoff and engages students at the Wannabe level. Students can then move through tasks at the Junior Coder level, Code Monkey level, and finally Hacker Level - reflecting on their learning as they go.

What's Included with this Project:

NextLesson Projects are extended lessons based in real life situations or simulations, culminating in the creation of a final idea, interpretation or product. They are specifically designed to be ready to use and compatible with implementing PBL in your classroom. NextLesson Projects include 8 Key Components that facilitate an authentic PBL experience, requiring deeper learning and in-depth inquiry while also incorporating student voice and choice, reflection and revision and student collaboration.

This Project is delivered in PDF format and may include additional resources such as: links, videos, rubrics, a Rank & Reason exercise, handouts, etc. In addition, NextLesson Projects are focused around our 8 Key Components:

1- Driving Question

2- Key Learnings: Understanding & Skills

3- Final Product

4- Authenticity

5- Inquiry

6- Student Driven

7- Critique

8- Reflection

Standards

to see state-specific standards (only available in the US).
Recognize opposite signs of numbers as indicating locations on opposite sides of 0 on the number line; recognize that the opposite of the opposite of a number is the number itself, e.g., -(-3) = 3, and that 0 is its own opposite.
Understand signs of numbers in ordered pairs as indicating locations in quadrants of the coordinate plane; recognize that when two ordered pairs differ only by signs, the locations of the points are related by reflections across one or both axes.
Find and position integers and other rational numbers on a horizontal or vertical number line diagram; find and position pairs of integers and other rational numbers on a coordinate plane.
Understand the absolute value of a rational number as its distance from 0 on the number line; interpret absolute value as magnitude for a positive or negative quantity in a real-world situation. For example, for an account balance of –30 dollars, write |–30| = 30 to describe the size of the debt in dollars.
Solve real-world and mathematical problems by graphing points in all four quadrants of the coordinate plane. Include use of coordinates and absolute value to find distances between points with the same first coordinate or the same second coordinate.
