Learn to Program Scratch- Task Cards LEVEL 1
By Howlin' Husky Math Games
Do you have an extra day when you'd love to take the entire class on an adventure of fun and excitement? Maybe you have a group of lightning-fast learners who breeze through assignments in no time. Giving them more of the same problems they've already mastered would be a wasted opportunity. So why not shake things up? How about introducing them to a thrilling world of discovery, with absolutely NO EXTRA WORK for you?
Programming!
Introducing "Learn to Program Scratch" task cards! These cards bring to life Scratch, a visually captivating computer programming language created by none other than MIT. Every student should have a taste of programming, and as math teachers, we hold the key to open this amazing door. Computer programming is the ultimate fusion of math and logic, and brace yourself... it's also fun!
Prepare to witness a spark of interest in your students! For many of them, the vast world of coding remains an enigma, with no clue where to begin. And let's face it, not all schools offer a comprehensive computer science curriculum. But fear not! These task cards act as a stepping stone, paving the way for their journey into the realms of Java, Python, JavaScript, C#, and more!
Hold on tight, because here's what's packed inside this treasure trove:
- 16 Task Cards, each one the start of a new adventure!
- But wait, there's more! Each card boasts three levels of differentiated challenges: N00b, Coder, and Hacker. That's a staggering total of 48 mini projects!
- Need a guiding light? We've got you covered with a full answer key.
- Flexibility at its finest! These cards can be done in any order, allowing you to print out one or two sets, laminate them for extra durability, and share them with multiple students!
- The cards are color-coded, following the Scratch theme. And hey, we understand if color printing isn't an option, so we've also labeled them for your convenience.
- Dive into the experience headfirst with an introduction video and a written overview of Scratch vocabulary. We're here to ensure you and your students have the smoothest journey possible!
*** Pro tip: Printing the cards on thicker paper (cardstock) and laminating them not only elevates their durability but ensures they withstand the test of time, unleashing countless moments of wonder and discovery!

History of Computers - Group Research & Presentation Project
By Innovations in Technology
In this lesson, students learn more about the history of the computer. The lesson starts with a Microsoft PowerPoint whole class presentation that gives an overview of computer history from the 1950’s through current times. Next, students work in small groups to research history information from an assigned decade and then to create a presentation using Microsoft PowerPoint (or Google Slides) to share with the class. Students take notes during the presentations and then culminate their learning with a short quiz over the material. A study sheet is provided to cover the material from each decade that will be tested to give students an opportunity to review the information (or to assist in the case of absences or presentations that are incomplete). This lesson was designed for middle school (grades 6-8) but could be used in upper elementary grades or high school as well. Files included: • Teacher & Student Resources • Microsoft PowerPoint presentation (for teacher presentation to the class) • Note sheet for PowerPoint presentation and student presentations • Team Planning Sheet • Student Expectations, Instructions and Grading Rubric for History Presentation Project • Study sheet: Computer History Facts • Multiple choice quiz (includes answer key) Remember to leave feedback for credits on future purchases! ************************************************************************** Connect with us for free technology tips, resources and curriculum: Follow our blog Follow us on Facebook Follow us on Pinterest Visit our Website

No download is required to use the product, making it easy for teachers who are not able to download software on classroom computers to still give their students a choice in learning. The quick start tutorial included with the lesson is intended to help students get started with the program and then use the resources within the program to refine their creations. General project instructions and expectations, along with a grading rubric are also included.
They can also utilize Microsoft PowerPoint to create an animated greeting card. A complete, step-by-step instruction guide is included, along with the project expectations and rubric.
