Junior Coders

Junior Coders is designed for children just starting primary school using the Lego EV3 Robotics platform.

In addition to coding concepts of sequencing and loops, mathematical concepts are incorporated into class activities. Given the close link between math and coding, exposing students to these math ideas in a fun and interactive way encourages students to think analytically and critically as they begin primary school education.

Course Details

1.0 hour per week

Courses are structured around 8 mathematical concepts.

  • Sequential execution of codes. Programs are read from left to right, like a sentence.

    Loops are sections of code that are repeated multiple times.

  • Building various structures with the Lego EV3 platform helps with spatial thinking and awareness.

  • Addition & Subtraction
    Multiplication
    Positive & Negative
    Fractions
    Decimals
    Comparision
    Measurement
    Geometry & Shapes

Learning Math through Robotics

Mathematical concepts are abstract and pose a challenge for younger children. Robotics brings multiple opportunities to visualize and experience math first-hand.

Spatial Thinking

Develop an instinctive understanding of 3D space through designing and building Lego EV3 robots. There is evidence that supports development in spatial thinking can result in improvements in mathematical understanding. (Christopher et al., 2018)
