Kavi Looks Back on Term 1
"Wow — look how much you learned this term!" Kavi cheered, flapping proudly. "You can break a big job into smaller parts — that's decomposition. You can tell hardware (the parts you can touch) from software (the programs that run on it). You can turn counts into a bar chart and read the tallest bar. And you know your digital footprint — the trail you leave online. Let's look back at all four together, then show what you remember!"

What your child will learn
1Remember: break a big job into smaller partsDecomposition means splitting a big job into smaller parts you can do one at a time. Press Run — here is the big job "make a jam sandwich" broken into small steps.
2Can you touch it, or does it run on it?Hardware is the physical parts you can touch. Software is the programs that run on the hardware. Tap each card to remember the difference.
3Turn counts into bars, then read the tallestA bar chart shows each count as a bar. The taller the bar, the more there are. Count each bar, then find the tallest.
4Every online step leaves a traceYour digital footprint is the trail you leave online. Unlike footprints in sand, online ones can stay. Tap each action to see the trace it leaves.
