TEKS 126.1 - Kindergarten (c) Knowledge and skills. (1) Computational thinking--foundations. The student explores the core concepts of computational thinking, a set of problem-solving processes that involve decomposition, pattern recognition, abstraction, and algorithms. The student is expected to: (A) identify a problem or task such as making a sandwich and break it down (decompose)

Students will be able to identify a simple task using the Hide and Seek activity to find the objects. They will think: how do I break it down into smaller, manageable steps using pictures, words, or actions to demonstrate the concept of decomposition in locating the object.

TEKS 126.2 - First Grade (b)(2)(B) Creativity and Innovation--Creativity and innovation. Students use innovative design processes to develop solutions to problems. Students plan a solution, create the solution, test the solution, iterate, and debug the solution as needed, and implement a completely new and innovative product.

Students will be able to recognize and describe patterns in familiar routines using pictures and PBS Kids Far & Away as a digital tool build foundational skills in computational thinking.

TEKS 126.3 (b)(2)(A) - Second Grade - Introduction, Computational Thinking. Computational thinking. Students break down the problem-solving process into four steps: decomposition, pattern recognition, abstraction, and algorithms.

Students will be able to select a real-world task using PBS Kids Luna Seek and Find as a digital tool to demonstrate their understanding of computational thinking.

TEKS 126.8 (b)(2)(A) - Third Grade - Introduction, Computational thinking. Students break down the problem-solving process into four steps: decomposition, pattern recognition, abstraction, and algorithms.

Students will be able to apply the four steps of computational thinking—decomposition, pattern recognition, abstraction, and algorithms—to create the constellations and computation thinking of the step-by-step solution using ABCYA as a digital tool.

TEKS 126.9(c)(12)(C) - Fourth Grade- Knowledge and Skills-Practical technology concepts--skills and tools. The student selects appropriate methods or techniques for an assigned task and identifies and solves simple hardware and software problems using common troubleshooting strategies. The student is expected to:

Students will be able to demonstrate proper touch keyboarding techniques by typing with speed and accuracy while applying ergonomic strategies such as correct hand placement, posture, and body alignment to promote safe and efficient computer use playing the Koala Paddleboards.

TEKS 126.10(b)(1) - Fifth Grade - Introduction -Technology includes data communication, data processing, and the devices used for these tasks locally and across networks. Learning to apply these technologies motivates students to develop critical-thinking skills, higher-order thinking, and innovative problem solving. Technology applications incorporates the study of digital tools, devices, communication, and programming to empower students to apply current and emerging technologies in their careers, their education, and beyond.

Students will be able to explore and apply digital tools, devices, and programming concepts to process and communicate data, while developing critical-thinking, higher-order reasoning, and innovative problem-solving skills that prepare them for future academic and career opportunities. Hold the Phone Idioms on ABCYA will introduce this concept and provide cross-curricular ELA engagement.
