Year 1 – Lesson 6 – Routes
This lesson encourages learners to plan their routes before they start to write their programs. The activities also introduce the concept of there being more than one way to solve a problem. This concept applies to a lot of programming activities: the same outcome can be achieved through a number of different approaches, and there isn’t necessarily a ‘right’ way. The lesson also introduces the idea of program design, in which learners need to plan what they want their program to achieve before they start programming.
