Sample questions

A few real prompts from the game to help you choose an activity for your class.

  1. Sort the instructions into groups.

    Sort into

    • a loop
    • a conditional
    • repeat 10 times
    • if the mark is above 50, pass
    • repeat until complete
    • if it rains, take an umbrella
    Read the explanation

    Each kind of instruction does a different job.

  2. Sort the graphs by what they are used for.

    Sort into

    • shows change over time
    • shows parts of a whole
    • daily temperature
    • the share of spending by category
    • monthly sales
    • market share
    Read the explanation

    Choose the chart that fits what you want to say.

  3. Sort the jobs into groups.

    Sort into

    • a traditional occupation
    • an occupation born of technology
    • rice farmer
    • an app developer
    • carpenter
    • a data analyst
    Read the explanation

    Some occupations are new, born of technology.

Game teaching guide

What children will practise

Sort loop versus conditional instructions, charts for change over time versus parts of a whole, traditional versus technology-created jobs, and food preservation by removing moisture versus lowering temperature.

What's in the worksheet

4 rounds, a sorting game with 4 items each - Repeat 10 times and repeat until complete are loops; if it rains, take an umbrella is a conditional - Daily temperature and monthly sales show change over time; market share shows parts of a whole - Rice farmer and carpenter are traditional; app developer and data analyst came from technology - Sun-drying and oven-drying remove moisture; freezing and chilling lower the temperature

How to use it in class

Use for review after coding and data-presentation lessons. 6-8 minutes. - Play in teams; in round 1, each team invents one more instruction for each group - For round 2, sketch a line graph and a pie chart side by side on the board - If many miss round 1, ask "Does this instruction contain the word if?" - Play it linked to a class and the scores go into the class gradebook.

Common sticking points

- In round 1, putting repeat until complete under conditional because it checks whether it is done; explain it is a loop with a stopping condition, while a conditional chooses once - In round 2, putting monthly sales under parts of a whole because sales sounds like market share - In round 4, putting chilling under removing moisture because fridges can dry vegetables out
