TECHNOLOGY APPLICATIONS.6.2.B — Vertical Alignment

Vertical alignment shows student expectations in the same subject area at different grade levels that are related to or build upon one another.

Previous grade

TA.K.2

create a sequence of code with or without technology such as solving a maze using drag-and-drop programming or creating step-by-step directions for student movement to a specific location.

TA.1.2

create a sequence of code that solves a simple problem with or without technology.

TA.2.2.B

use a design process to create a sequence of code that includes loops to solve a simple problem with or without technology.

TA.3.2.B

use a design process to create programs that include sequences, loops, and conditionals to express ideas or address a problem.

TA.4.2.B

use a design process to create programs that include sequences, loops, and conditionals to express ideas or address a problem.

TA.5.2.B

use a design process to create block-based programs that include sequences, loops, conditionals, and events to solve an everyday problem; and

TA.6.2.B

use a design process to create block-based and text-based programs that include sequences, loops, conditionals, and events to solve an everyday problem.

TA.7.2.B

use a software design process to create text-based programs with nested loops that address different subproblems within a real-world context.

TA.8.2.B

use a software design process to create text-based programs with nested loops that address different subproblems within a real-world context; and

High School Extension

Successful demonstration of the technology applications standards prepares students for the following high school courses:

TECHNOLOGY APPLICATIONS.6.2.B — Breakout of skills

Breakouts are the component parts that make up a student expectation. A breakout shows a distinct concept a student should know or a distinct skill that a student should be able to demonstrate.

The student is expected to

use a design process to create block-based programs

that include sequences, to solve an everyday problem

that include loops, to solve an everyday problem

that include conditionals, to solve an everyday problem
