What grade 1's should know

2 min read

Sequencing

Students should be able to sequence events in a simple story or task using pictures or words and they should be able to explain the sequence using appropriate transition words. Examples:

  1. Create a program that displays a message on the screen when the “run” button is clicked.
  2. Create a program that plays a sound when a certain key is pressed.
  3. Create a program that displays the numbers 1-10 in order.
  4. Navigating a maze

Looping

Students should be able to understand the concept of repeating an instruction multiple times. Examples:

  1. Navigating a maze with less repeated code.
  2. Make a sound multiple times in a scratch scene.
  3. Jump 5 times in a scratch scene.
  4. Drawing simple shapes with loops.

Events

Students should be able to apply basic event programming to events such as click or touch. Examples:

  1. Make a dog bark and run after it is touched. (Touch event)
  2. Make a dog bark every 5 seconds. (Time event)
