\"Worksheet<\/figure>\n<\/div>\n\n\n

Description<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Students follow a simple story of going to a fruit store, where each child moves through a grid to buy a fruit. Starting from each child\u2019s picture, they trace paths by following given directions and matching identifying features, then write the fruit name in a table.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The activity encourages careful step-by-step movement, attention to visual cues, and basic sequencing within a narrative-based challenge. It also introduces an unplugged coding concept, where each movement represents a sequence of commands that must be followed in order. Through numbered directional arrows, learners practice foundational computational thinking skills such as sequencing, rule-following, and path tracing.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Task Overview<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

The 9 \u00d7 7 grid represents a fruit store. Each row begins with a child in the first column, while fruits are placed across the remaining cells.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The table provides clues for each child, including a distinguishing feature and a set of directional arrows. By following these directions carefully, students identify the fruit each child buys and write the answers in the last column.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Instruction<\/h2>\n\n\n\n
    \n
  1. Look at the grid and read the instruction.<\/li>\n\n\n\n
  2. Find each child in the first column by matching the feature in the table. Make sure you are following the correct child.<\/li>\n\n\n\n
  3. Look at the direction arrows. The number tells you how many steps to move. The arrowhead shows the direction (\u2192 right, \u2190 left, \u2191 up, \u2193 down).<\/li>\n\n\n\n
  4. Follow each direction in order, step by step from each child’s picture.<\/li>\n\n\n\n
  5. Stop when you reach a fruit.<\/li>\n\n\n\n
  6. Write the name of the fruit in the last column of the table.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n\n\n\n
