Teaching Computer Science in the Elementary Math Classroom
All of our computer programming lessons align with elementary math TEKS. Common Core coming soon! Check out our lessons below to see how they align.
MIT's Scratch is a free programming language for kids. It enables educators to expose children to coding at an early age. It puts the power of creativity into the hands of students!
We provide an onsite, comprehensive training for teachers to seamlessly incorporate this resource into their classrooms. No prior experience with computer programming necessary! We guarantee this will be the best professional development you've ever attended!
Students need to practice counting forwards and backwards by 1's, 2's, etc. This is an example of a project in which students model the counting process with pictures. There are additional questions that reinforce addition and subtraction.
Suggested Use: Students should play with the example project, explore the insides, and then build their own version.
In this project, students model fractions with pictures. They work with part to whole relationships and understanding how a whole a fraction is the sum of its pieces.
Suggested Use: Have students play with the example project, explore the insides, and then build their own version using thirds, fourths, etc.
In this lesson, students move their character along a graph. This activity practices with number lines, explores graphing, and reinforces addition and subtraction.
Suggested Use: Allow to students to complete the story and explore how it works. Encourage them to experiment with build their own stories.
