coding Grade G5

Code Crew Grade 5

Code Crew Grade 5 caps the K-5 line. Kids work through recursion (with concrete visual pre-work), the difference between iterative and recursive solutions, and three foundational algorithms (binary search, mergesort, recursive tree traversal). The 12 weeks build to a final project: a 60-100 line program kids design and ship (a planner, a quiz game, a fleet-inventory tracker). Includes a teacher/parent rubric for evaluating the final project.

• Understand recursion through a concrete visual analogy
• Convert a recursive solution to iteration (and vice versa)
• Implement binary search and reason about why it's faster than linear search
• Walk through mergesort step-by-step on paper
• Traverse a simple tree (recursive)
• Design, implement, and test a 60-100 line capstone project
