Here’s some tips on how to differentiate elementary curriculum if you have some struggling students:
Pair/partner programming: pair students with a partner who can help one another, or have students work together on one device.
Show Example Code on the class screen for students to reference if needed.
Pull a small group aside to do a lesson’s Independent Work together.
Provide the link to the full slide deck for students to review (they are viewable even without a Google account). Copy the link from the “Open Slides” button.
Use CodeHS Unplugged Coding Card Games for extra practice on Sequences, Loops, or Conditionals. (Search for “Coding Card Game” in “All Lessons”)
Select some Scratch Coding Cards to build skills for students who would benefit from simpler activities. (Coding cards found here)
Provide lesson slides for a previous/review lesson to a new student or a student who is joining the class later than others.
