Investigation: Maze – Debugging Directions
Description
Children will figure out the error in a sequence of steps leading to a treasure.
Materials
- Ensure grid is large enough for children to fit their bodies in each square, including if children use adaptive mobility devices such as wheelchairs.
- If possible, add Velcro and complete activity on the carpet so arrows and paper don’t move.
Instruction
- If children still struggle after providing support, bring attention to the error and work with children to fix the error.
- Allow children to point with their finger and model adjusting the arrow.
- Remind children that mistakes are part of learning to program and that together we can figure it out!
