This Quizlet Study Set contains Elementary (K-5) vocabulary from the "Computing Systems" strand of the Virginia Standards of Learning for Computer Science. Students can study the terms with flashcards or try the games to test their knowledge. 

The student (grades 4-7) will read the article and determine the purposes of each of the nine (simplified) tasks of a computer's operating system.  This can be an independent, small group, or whole group activity.

This lesson plan is for an activity that reinforces the jobs performed by an operating system. 

Sometimes it can be helpful to take code and work backwards with it. This helps give a greater understanding on how code is actually written and structured. This practice sheet offers opportunity to take pseudocode and convert it to a flowhart by analyzing how inputs and outputs are associated with user choice.4.4 The student will create a plan as part of the iterative design process, both independently and collaboratively using strategies such as pair programming (e.g., storyboard, flowchart, pseudocode, story map).4.8 The student will model how a computing system works including input and output, processors, and sensors.

This activity involves scanning QR codes fto match up with various forms of decimals (Standard, Expanded, and Word). Students scn the codes and look for the match on another card. If the match is found, the decimal is checked off of the list (page 5), then the QR code on the matched card is scanned for the next decima search.

In this lesson, students will explore how information travels through a computer. Students will be able to label and explain the function of an input device, processor, and output device.  This lesson includes several interactive activities including a computing system sort, interactive video notes, and a review foldable.
