A grown-up reads the pages aloud. Children put each set in order before gluing, then tell the steps out loud, the way a computer follows code.
What are the Everyday Algorithms Sequencing Cards?
⌄
Two pages. Page 1 explains that an algorithm is a set of steps in order and has 12 picture cards to cut out. Page 2 has 3 rows of 4 boxes: Algorithm 1: Brush Your Teeth, Algorithm 2: Plant a Seed and Algorithm 3: Make a Sandwich. The answer key shows the right order.
Can I use the Everyday Algorithms Sequencing Cards at home and in the classroom?
⌄
Yes. We made it for Kindergarten to 2nd 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 Kindergarten to 2nd Grade Hour of Code resources are there?
⌄
10 printable resources, all free to preview. There are 30 Hour of Code resources in all, from Preschool to 5th Grade, gathered on our Hour of Code activities page. 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 Kindergarten to 2nd Grade students, roughly ages 5-8. 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 Kindergarten to 2nd Grade classroom, a learning center, or a tutoring session.
