The Year 1 students learned to code without using any digital equipment by developing algorithms to draw numbers with specific actions or 'language'. After reviewing the correct way to write numbers, starting from the top and going down, the students drew numbers and the steps they thought were needed to draw the number as a 'robot'. Commands included, forwards, backwards, left, right and others. The students were highly successful in writing long algorithms or steps for most numbers.
