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,
  • shaping the ability to create command sequences controlling an object,
  • developing the ability to use algorithms.

Operational Objectives, Student

  • arranges the route using blocks with a loop,
  • avoids obstacles in the form of maze walls,
  • 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,
  • uses the concepts: vertical, horizontal.

Description of work with the application

Launch the "Find the Exit from the Maze - Loops" application. Tell the students that on the Planet of the Wild West, Ava serves as a sheriff. She ensures peace in the streets of towns and that cosmic visitors from other planets do not commit crimes. Sometimes she gets lost in the winding streets of the town. Help Ava find her way back to the station. Choose the board size suitable for your students. Create an exit instruction from the maze by arranging the code from the arrows - record the repeating movements using the arrow with a number. Thanks to you, Sheriff Ava will definitely reach the goal.
