Save over 25% by buying this product as part of a bundle CODING BUNDLE Unplugged After playing this game students will be able to: - apply similar coding strategies to age appropriate coding websites or apps - follow an algorithm - compile an algorithm - problem solve errors and correct them - eventually move onto more advanced languages of coding Please MODEL and clearly discuss directions for this activity to allow students the greatest chance of success Included Page 1: Space Coding Map level 1 Page 2: Space Coding Map level 2 Page 3: Space Coding Map level 3 Page 4: Space Coding Map level 4 Page 5: Space Coding Game Rules Pages 6 & 7: Teacher Guide Page 8: Algorithm Design Card Page 9: Example of Algorithm Design Page 10: Directional Cards to cut out Page 11: Credits INSTRUCTIONS: *Your task is to create an algorithm for your partner to follow. *Can you get the alien to the 'Space Ship' so he can find the treasure? *The alien can only move one square per directional card, however when a 'right turn' or 'left turn' card is used he remains on the spot and turns in the direction indicated by the card. *On your blank map use a dry erase/whiteboard marker to plan your path from the alien to the 'Space Ship" *Take the directional cards and place them on the Algorithm Design. *One card per square of the map (use the alien cut out if you need help figuring out which direction to turn) *Once you have completed the algorithm give it to your partner *Let's see if your partner can follow your algorithm *Your partner should use a dry erase/whiteboard marker to follow the algorithm on their map. When finished you can compare maps - they should match up. *If your partner didn't make it to the 'Space Shipt' what went wrong? Was it your algorithm? Did your partner follow the steps correctly? =============================================================== ⇒Feedback and Followers Click the Green ★ to FOLLOW MY STORE CURIOSITY and the HUNGRY MIND and get notifications of new product.
