Grade: 4th grade
Subject: Math
Topic: 2-D shapes and angles
Description: Students will analyze angles and attributes of shapes while coding a two dimensional object using Code.org.
Math TEK: 4.6 b, 4.6c, 4.7d, 4.7e
Technology TEK: 3-5.4.D The student is expected to: evaluate technology tools applicable for solving problems.
Procedure:
Students will navigate to the lesson on the Code.org website. Students will use critical thinking skills and their knowledge of angles and 2-D shapes to code the character to draw basic shapes using appropriate angle measures. Teachers can create an account on Code.org to enter all students into a classroom to track progress or students can do just the ten activities listed on this link.
