1. Roll the dice and add the total.2. Decide which numbers to cross off.3. When you can’t cross off, your turn is over.4. Add the total of numbers not crossed off.5. If sum of remaining tiles is less than 6, you can roll 1 die.6. Lowest score wins.

Decompose:Break the problem into smaller parts.

Pattern Recognition:Look for Patterns

Abstraction:Filter out the unimportant details.

Algorithms:Create a step-by-step set of instructions or formula.

DECOMPOSITION: Break the problem down.

PATTERN RECOGNITION:Look for Patterns

ABSTRACTION: Filter out the unimportant details.

ALGORITHMS: Create a formula.

CROSS-CURRICULAR LEARNING ACTIVITY

NEXT STEPS: 1. Learn coding basics online (Kodable, Blockly, Scratch).2. Teach a concept unplugged.3. Practice strategies, coding and computational thinking with

games.4. Practice design-thinking, coding and computational thinking

by creating board/deck games.5. Learn to code apps, games and programs with Scratch, App

Lab, App Inventor, etc.
