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)
