Exploring Patterning and Movement on a Grid Through Coding

March 28, 2017 to April 23, 2024

  • Category: Online, Workshop
  • Region: Central Ontario, Eastern Ontario, GTA, Northern Ontario, Southern Ontario
  • Topic: Technological Education
  • Grades: Primary (grades 1-3)

Find out how you can help primary students to learn about patterning and positional language by moving through a grid in a beginners’ coding app geared towards our youngest learners, ScratchJr.  Coding can help support development of spatial reasoning skills, which is important for children’s future success in school. ScratchJr is a sandbox-style (an exploration-based environment) coding app for iPads, android tablets and chromebooks and is perfect for young children. Unplugged (without computer) coding ideas will also be presented.
