Achievements

Achievements in accordance with the records of the core curriculum for primary school, grades I-III

Computer science education: the student solves tasks, puzzles, and riddles leading to the discovery of algorithms; uses a computer or other digital device and external devices to perform a task; associates the operation of a computer or other digital device with the effects of working with software; cooperates with students, exchanges ideas and experiences with them, using technology.

General Objectives

  • improving spatial orientation,
  • developing the ability to apply algorithms,
  • shaping the ability to understand basic mathematical concepts and operations, along with describing these activities: in words, image, symbol.

Operational Objectives, Student

  • orders the results of addition from smallest to largest,
  • arranges the route using blocks with directional arrows,
  • determines the mutual position of objects on the plane,
  • determines directions and establishes the position of objects in relation to oneself, as well as in relation to other objects, distinguishes the left and right side.

Description of work with the application

Launch the "Sum the numbers" application. Tell the students that on the Planet of Scientists, Ava has many tasks to do, but it is difficult because many paths are encrypted. Ava is conducting a census on the Planet of Scientists. For this purpose, she visits the houses of the inhabitants one by one. Choose the board size suitable for your students. Help her complete the mission by only going through those fields with house numbers, the values of which, when added, will give the result indicated at the finish. Help Ava determine the route using blocks with arrows, taking into account the numbers that, when added, will give the result given at the finish.

Instructions
