The Variables - Astronaut Adventure Pack is a unique educational tool that helps kids aged 5 to 6 understand the basics of variables, which are the foundation of the coding concepts that level 3 is based on. The pack not only introduces the concept of an integer variable type but also teaches kids about string variables, which are a crucial part of programming languages and are used to store text data. With this pack, kids will learn how to use and manipulate both types of variables in coding, giving them a well-rounded understanding of the basics of coding.
It includes:
- Five lesson plans are designed to introduce kids to the basic concepts of variables and loops in a way that is easy to understand and follow.
- Designed around an astronaut theme, with a coding map consisting of six pages of cutouts that can be assembled to create the full map.
- 13 vocabulary words that will introduce kids to a variety of galaxy and astronaut themed items, helping to make the learning process more engaging and fun.
The Variables - Astronaut Adventure Pack is an excellent tool for introducing kids to the world of coding. It helps them understand the basics of variables and provides them with a foundation for more advanced coding concepts. By the end of this pack, kids will have taken the first to create simple programs that utilize variables, and they will be ready to move on to more advanced coding concepts in level 3.
