Methodological manuals for the computer science teacher of the 3rd grade

To the main page

In the 3rd grade, children have already mastered basic skills in working with a computer, text, and graphics. At this age, you can deepen their knowledge of programming, add work with data, and gradually prepare them for more complex topics, such as algorithms and the use of IT in everyday life.

3rd grade (by quarters)

1st quarter (September-October):

  • 8 lessons (2 lessons per week).
  • Topics :
    • Reviewing the basics of working with a computer, updating knowledge about files and folders.
    • Advanced work with text: creating short documents, formatting text (bold, italic, changing font).
    • Basics of working with tables: entering data, simple calculations.
    • Simple interactive tasks and games for developing logical thinking.

2nd quarter (November-December):

  • 7-8 lessons (1-2 lessons per week).
  • Topics :
    • Introduction to flowcharts and algorithms: representing logical operations in graphical form.
    • Creating simple programs with loops and branching in visual environments (e.g. Scratch).
    • Internet Basics: How to search for information, basics of safe searching and protection from malicious content.

3rd quarter (January-March):

  • 8 lessons (2 lessons per week).
  • Topics :
    • Advanced programming in Scratch: create interactive animations and games using loops, conditions, and events.
    • Working with multimedia files: adding images, audio and video to projects.
    • Developing a mini-project (for example, creating an animation or interactive story).

4th quarter (April-May):

  • 7-8 lessons (1-2 lessons per week).
  • Topics :
    • Working with tables: creating simple diagrams, sorting data, simple mathematical operations.
    • Preparing a group project (for example, creating a multimedia presentation or video using various software tools).
    • Discussion of IT related professions and the importance of IT in everyday life.
    • Review of cybersecurity rules: password protection, conscious behavior on the Internet.

Result:

For the 3rd grade, 30-32 lessons are planned during the school year. The program gradually becomes more complex, focusing on the development of algorithmic thinking, the basics of programming, working with tables and multimedia files.
