Coding Projects

Grade 8 Math
Ontario Curriculum
Lesson 1

TpT Students Learn To Code

1
Let’s Code! Notes for Teachers
This package of Grade 8 Mathematics coding lessons have been designed to meet the Grade 8
Ontario Math Curriculum Coding Expectations:

C3.1 Solve problems and create computational representations of mathematical situations by


writing and executing code, including code that involves the analysis of data in order to inform
and communicate decisions

C3.2 Read and alter existing code involving the analysis of data in order to inform and
communicate decisions, and describe how changes to the code affect the outcomes and the
efficiency of the code

Students will be using Scratch, a free block coding program from educators at MIT. Scratch has
been designed to help students develop a strong foundation in coding. www.scratch.mit.edu

*Each lesson links to a short video tutorial teaching your students the coding concepts
required to complete each project.

Students are encouraged to apply the coding skills learned in the videos in new and creative
ways to enhance and individualize their math projects.

Terms of Use: The following project is for you to use with your students. If you have questions,
please feel free to send me a message through TpT Students Learn to Code:

Additional Learning:

For students/classes new to coding or who may need a coding refresher, teachers and students
are encouraged to use the free coding instructional Learn to Code videos available on
YouTube. Each lesson examines key coding concepts and blocks taking students from absolute
novice (Lesson 1 Banana Attack) to coding expert (Lesson 15 Drone Sweeper).

Each video is aligned with the Learn To Code Math and Science coding units and the Ontario
Math and Science curriculum.

Students can work through the videos independently, as a class, or as homework.
