Computational Thinking Poster
Written by Adi Ackerman, Head Teacher
"Computational Thinking Poster" is written for 1st Grade to 3rd Grade (Ages 6-9). It also works a grade below or above: younger children can use it with an adult reading it aloud, and older ones as a quick refresher.

What is the Computational Thinking Poster?
⌄
One poster with four panels around a robot: Break It Down, Find Patterns, Focus on What Matters and Make an Algorithm. Each panel has a short definition and an everyday example, such as a morning routine, a school map or a recipe for a sandwich.
Can I use the Computational Thinking Poster at home and in the classroom?
⌄
Yes. We made it for 1st Grade to 3rd Grade holiday activities, and it works the same at home or at school. Families print it for one child and keep it where they will use it every day. Teachers print a copy per student or one for the whole room, whichever the day needs.
How many 1st Grade to 3rd Grade Hour of Code resources are there?
⌄
2 printable resources, all free to preview. Downloads are included with a ClassWeekly free trial, and every page prints on standard 8.5 x 11 paper.
What age are Hour of Code resources for?
⌄
These are written for 1st Grade to 3rd Grade students, roughly ages 6-9. Many teachers also use them a grade up for review or a grade down as an extension, so use the preview to judge the fit for a particular child.
Can I use these Hour of Code resources for homeschool?
⌄
Yes. Nothing here assumes a classroom of 25, so they work the same one-to-one at the kitchen table as they do in a 1st Grade to 3rd Grade classroom, a learning center, or a tutoring session.
