Methodological manuals for the 6th grade computer science teacher
In the 6th grade, the study of computer science continues to deepen. At this stage, students are introduced to more advanced aspects of programming, Internet technologies, working with data, and expand their cybersecurity skills. The main focus is on the practical application of knowledge in projects.
6th grade (by quarters)
1st quarter (September-October):
- 8 lessons (2 lessons per week).
- Topics :
- Review of the basics: file system, working with the operating system and different types of files (text, graphic, audio, video).
- Advanced work with text editors: working with tables within the text, using footnotes, content, styles and document layouts.
- Algorithms and their application: repetition of basic concepts of algorithms, construction of more complex flowcharts.
2nd quarter (November-December):
- 7-8 lessons (1-2 lessons per week).
- Topics :
- Programming: Introduction to text-based programming languages (such as Python or HTML/CSS) – basic syntax, variables, loops, branching.
- Working with tables: creating complex formulas, working with data in the context of finance (budgeting, calculations), creating diagrams.
- Cybersecurity Basics: Internet threats, cyberattacks, security measures when working on the Internet, creating and using complex passwords.
3rd quarter (January-March):
- 8 lessons (2 lessons per week).
- Topics :
- Advanced programming: working with functions, data arrays, creating simple programs and games using basic algorithms.
- Basics of working with the Internet and web development: creating simple HTML pages, getting to know CSS for designing web pages.
- Working with multimedia editors: editing images, audio and video, creating multimedia projects.
4th quarter (April-May):
- 7-8 lessons (1-2 lessons per week).
- Topics :
- Project creation: development of a collective or individual project (for example, an interactive website, application, multimedia presentation with programming elements).
- Working with data: basics of data analysis, filtering and sorting data in tables, introduction to basic database functions.
- Cybersecurity review: protecting personal data, working safely on the Internet, preventing phishing and other threats.
Result:
For the 6th grade, 30-32 lessons are planned . The program includes in-depth study of programming, Internet technologies and working with data, and also emphasizes the application of knowledge to create their own projects. Cybersecurity also plays an important role, ensuring conscious and safe use of technology.
