Your 3rd graders write code with paper cards to drive a robot through a test lab. They collect gears, dodge crates, cones, and spills, and land on the battery with the fewest cards possible. Along the way they meet loops, IF/ELSE decisions, and debugging, and they find out that a loop is really multiplication.

Three levels (Sequences, Loops, and Autopilot) let you start every student where they are and move them up when they are ready. There are 3 ready-to-teach lesson plans, a Human Robots floor game, and answer keys for everything, with no devices, no logins, and no tech setup, so it works for sub plans too.

What's included:
- A Quick Start guide with a print list, supply list, and an activity-by-activity standards map
- 3 ready-to-teach lesson plans and the Human Robots floor game
- 24 leveled mission mats in full color and in black and white
- MOVE, REPEAT, END, and IF code cards, robot tokens, and a Code Tray
- 24 Mission Logs where students draw the route, write the code, and count the cards
- 8 Debug It! puzzles and 6 Trace It! puzzles
- Fewest Cards pages, Compare Codes, and Math Link pages (loops as multiplication, perimeter, and area)
- Design Your Own Mission pages with blank mats
- 3 exit tickets, 3 leveled assessments, and a class data tracker
- 8 vocabulary posters, a Certified Robot Coder certificate, and a family note
- Answer keys for everything
- A 67-slide PowerPoint with draggable code cards for a digital option

Perfect for: Hour of Code and Computer Science Education Week; Math and STEM centers; Early finishers and enrichment groups; Sub plans; Coding clubs, and grades 4 and 5 as a review
