Grade 4 Coding Curriculum: Nested Events
Video overview about coding.
Students will demonstrate an understanding of nested events as repeats within repeats.
Grade Four: Nested Events
By the end of this unit, students will be able to:
● Write code involving sequential (step-by-step) concurrent (at the same time), repeating, and nested (sequence or pattern within another sequence or pattern) events
● Read and alter code involving sequential, concurrent, repeating, and nested events
Through whole-class and small-group discussion, students will identify and describe real-life scenarios involving nested events.
Students will create an art piece that visually represents nested events.
Students will determine the most efficient way to move a phoenix through a maze using repeating and nested events
Students will create their own music and dance performances using repeating and nested events.
Students will write out tasks for a pretend robot to carry out daily tasks using repeating and nested events.
Video for applying lessons learned on Scratch.
Students will use what they know about nested, repeating, concurrent, and sequential events to program a scene on Scratch where characters walk and do other actions
Created by a Teacher and Coder
Together, Ace and Emily teamed up to make a practical guide for Ontario teachers to deliver quality coding lessons to students.
Hi, I'm Ace!
I am a UofT Computer Science graduate and have over 10 years of professional programming experience at IBM, TD Bank and Loyalty One. I will teach you coding concepts from the new Ontario curriculum using simple, real life examples.
Hi, I'm Emily!
I'm an Ontario primary teacher with over 8 years of teaching experience and a Masters of Education. I was lost with the new coding curriculum, then Ace taught me the concepts and we teamed up to create a practical guide.
