Draft Copy: Code4Kids’s Grade 5 Computer Science (CS) curriculum challenges students to design, test, and refine solutions while exploring more complex computing concepts.
The Purple Level curriculum equips Grade 5 learners to debug algorithms, create animated stories or simulations, and use media-rich tools to inform and persuade.
Over 4 units and 12–20 lessons, students deepen their understanding of sequencing, iteration, and abstraction. They’ll develop and recommend solutions to real-world problems, practicing clear communication and collaborative planning.
Each lesson is designed for a 45 to 60-minute period once per week, inspiring students to think critically and create confidently.
