This unplugged module guides teachers through a series of lessons designed to introduce students to the concept of sequencing and logical order, essential for understanding coding instructions. The module includes interactive games, discussions, and worksheet activities, progressing from simple 'first/then' statements to more complex grid navigation tasks. Teachers are advised to explain concepts clearly, make learning fun and relatable, and encourage students to visualise movements and explain their thought processes.

What Students Will Learn

Learning Goals

  1. Understand and apply the concept of sequencing everyday activities using 'first/then' statements.
  2. Recognise and predict outcomes based on given conditions using 'if/then' statements.
  3. Arrange steps of daily activities in the correct logical order to reinforce the concept of sequencing.
  4. Learn and apply the concept of grid navigation through interactive games and activities.
  5. Expand understanding of grid navigation from a 3x3 to a 4x4 grid, including moving a character to different targets.

Learning Outcomes

  1. Understand and apply the concept of sequencing everyday activities using 'first/then' statements.
  2. Sequence actions using "if/then" statements to understand cause and effect relationships.
  3. Arrange steps of daily activities in the correct order to understand the logical flow of events.
  4. Learn and apply the concept of grid navigation through forward and backward movement.
  5. Navigate a character on a larger 4x4 grid, expanding from the previous understanding of a 3x3 grid.
