3rd Grade Coding Practice

Module D1 Overview

In this module, students will follow the Master WizBird guide to learn about code, debugging, and loops. Throughout the module, students will collect ingredients that help them to create the final magical Gems that will give Master WizBird the knowledge he needs to support good works in galaxies beyond. In these lessons students will use sequencing, debugging, and the decomposition strategy, break it down, to solve increasingly difficult problems. Each student will receive their own WizBird that will act as their “rubber duck” as they work through problems. This self-questioning strategy will support students as they are introduced to adding loops in their sequences. By the end of the module, students will be able to code a program that includes complex loops, debug a program with multiple bugs, and monitor their own learning through self-questioning.
