Introduces learners to computational thinking practices that will be used throughout the other sequences.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Prepares learners for the idea of using a common set of coding commands to give instructions for a task. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
Focuses on the use of IF-THEN commands with the introduction of Boolean operators such as AND, OR, and NOT.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Focuses on the use of REPEAT commands to group patterns of commands, in order to make instructions more efficient.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Focuses on the use of variables to make commands modifiable and built into reusable algorithms.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Focuses on the creation and use of functions to build sets of commands into reusable algorithms.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
