Due to the recent school closures, we're trying to provide a small bit of help to everyone. For parents and kids, all of our step by step coding projects are now free to use, and for teachers it's now free to enroll in our "Teaching Coding in Primary School" online course.

Everything you need to start coding lessons in your school

Coding Curriculum

A curriculum to teach coding to primary school aged children that consists of lesson plans that introduce children to coding and brings them through more and more advanced topics.

Teacher Training

We provide both online and workshop based teacher training that gives primary school teachers the knowledge and skills to teach coding as a subject.

Educational & fun projects that your students will love

Each lesson is graded and lists the topics covered & duration. Here's a sample of some of the lessons in the Coding Curriculum.

Guess the County

In this lesson we will create a game called "Guess the County". A map of Ireland with the counties outlined is displayed and players choose a county by dropping a pin on it. They then need to guess what the county is and the game records all their correct and incorrect answers.

Hard 90 mins Scratch Geography SESE

Maze - Artificial Intelligence

In this lesson we will program a sprite to figure out how to navigate a maze using random decision making and we will time the beetle to see how fast it can complete the maze.

Microbit Basics

This lesson introduces students to Microbits and explains what the are and how to program them. At the end of the lesson students will create their first Microbit program and send it to their Microbit.

A true story about the history of Lego which can be used as a model text for writing chronological reports or biographies.

The narration of the text can be used to show directly what these texts look and sound like. Note the use of rhetorical questions in the opening section.
How paragraphs often begin with connectives, words to show when something happened or to show the passing of time. e.g. Many years ago, one day, suddenly etc.
It can demonstrate the links between paragraphs e.g: "It seemed like nothing could go wrong. But a stormy night in 1942 changed their luck.

Writing Opportunities

-Practice writing rhetorical questions for effect.
​-Children could create lego models and write instructions
-Use model to create biography for a similar figure.
-Create an advert for the early toys
-Create biography for Ole Christiansen.
-Map his mood through the events in the story.
-Compare lego with other toys such as meccano or modern games and argue why Lego is best. Maybe worthwhile comparing with mine craft, listing similarities and differences, which is more engaging? Which is best for money? Etc
-Design own lego land - use Lego to build it. Draw maps, write brochures and visitors guides. ​

Is áis léitheoireachta í Eleathanach a bhíonn ar fáil gach Luan saor in aisce ó Roinn Froebel don Bhun- agus Luath- Oideachas, Ollscoil na hÉireann, Má Nuad. Cuireadh tús leis an Eleathanach in 2008. Le cabhair ón gComhairle um Oideachas Gaeltachta agus Gaelscolaíochta, ó Choláiste Alexandra, agus léachtóirí i Roinn Froebel don Bhun- agus Luath- Oideachas tá an tionscadal ag dul ó neart go neart. Is nuachtlitir leictreonach í le hailt a mhúsclaíonn spéis na ndaltaí. Tá sé dírithe ar rang a cúig agus a sé sa bhunscoil. I mí Mheán Fómhair 2009, bronnadh an Séala Eorpach Teanga ar an togra seo. Bhí an Giúiré an-tógtha le Eleathanach agus cheap siad gur 'tionscadal fíorchruthaitheach úrnua é seo, bíodh is go bhfuil sé simplí.'

Tá ábhar ann atá suimiúil do na hardranganna toisc an bhaint atá ag an idirbhliain i gColáiste Alexandra le scríobh na n-alt. Chomh maith leis sin, coimeádtar súil ghéar ar leibhéal na teanga. Toisc gur nuachtlitir sheachtainiúil í, bíonn deis ag múinteoirí ábhar nua a chur i láthair an ranga gach seachtain. Is bealach éifeachtach é Eleathanach chun a chinntiú go mbaineann an t-ábhar léitheoireachta a roghnaítear sa seomra ranga le cúrsaí na linne agus go bhfuil téacsanna dílse á n-úsáid sa seomra ranga. Is féidir le múinteoirí an Eleathanach a fháil trí ríomhphost a sheoladh chuig eleathanach@gmail.com agus cuirfear ar an liosta seoltaí iad. Buntáiste a bhaineann le bheith ar an liosta seoltaí ná go dtagann an Eleathanach i bhfoirm Microsoft Word agus is féidir le múinteoirí an t-ábhar agus an teanga a chur in oiriúint do pháistí ina rang. Chomh maith leis sin bíonn Eleathanach ar fáil gach Luan anseo ar shuíomh na Roinne agus ar shuíomh COGG www.cogg.ie. Cuirtear 20 eagrán amach in aghaidh na bliana agus tá páistí na tíre ag baint taitnimh as na hailt shuimiúla!

Fraction walls are a great way to teach about fractions and in particular equivalent fractions. In a fraction wall each row or layer of the wall represents one whole number. The layers are divided into a number of bricks and hence each brick represents a fraction whose denominator is equal to the number of bricks in that layer. Each brick can be turned on or off by clicking it. This wall also allows the display of decimal and percentage values. To the right of the wall are boxes which can be hidden, the value of each box is fraction of the wall that has been turned on.

Selecting different walls

When you launch this interactive teaching program the initial wall is a mixed one showing 3 distinct fraction families. Change the wall by using the mode control. 'Large' displays a wall in which the layers are split 1,2,3 up to 12. The others split the wall along 2s, 3s or 5s. The 5s also includes a lower wall of 100 bricks, this naturally works quite well in explaining percentages since each brick represent ¹⁄ ₁₀₀ or 1%.

Fractions, decimals or percentages

Use the display type control to display decimals (rounded to 2dp), percentages (rounded to 1dp), fractions or none.

The equivalent fraction control

Normally when you click a brick to turn it on or off, only that brick is affected. However if you turn on the equivalent fraction function by clicking the 'Eq' toggle button. Now when a brick is clicked the other layers will turn on bricks if they can match an equivalent fraction. Note, this is not always possible, in fact if you select the primes wall it is never possible to show an equivalent fraction. In this case all the other layers have bricks turned off.

Least Common Multiple

Also known as 'the lowest common multiple' or 'smallest common multiple' is crucial when adding, subtracting or comparing fractions. This button will calculate the LCM based on the rows that have active bricks. Pressing the LCM button will create a new wall that contains the originally selected fraction but also a new layer with the number of divisions equalling the least common multiple of the denominators of the other rows. Sounds complicated, but it really just means that it is always possible to create an equivalent fraction in the LCM row from the other rows.

Other controls

The other controls are

'On' button when clicked will turn on all the bricks

'Off' button when clicked will turn off all the bricks

'Random' button creates a randomized wall in which roughly half the bricks are on. Usually you would hide the totals before pressing this and then the class can work out each fraction in the random wall.

' < ' button will align all the bricks to the left hand side of the wall. This is often pressed after using the randomize function. Fractions can then be compared by considering the length of each row of on bricks.

hide totals click to hide all the totals. The individuals total can then be clicked to show the value.

show totals reveal all the totals.

Advanced Section

To show or hide the advanced section click the advanced toggle button

When the advance controls are on, each layer of the wall has a dedicated slider, move this to change the number the number of bricks in that layer.

Automatic 1 button when clicked create a new wall by dividing the top layer by all its ascending prime factors. So for example if you move the top slider so the top layer has 42 bricks and then click the button. The primefactors of 42 are 2,3 and 7. So the second layer will have 42÷2=21 bricks, the third layer will have 21÷3=7 bricks and the final layer will have 7÷7= 1 brick.

Automatic 2 is similar but creates a layer for every factor of the top layer value.

Add Layer adds a new layer to the bottom of the wall.

total type select control will change the type of total to display. The default is to match what the wall shows, so in this case if the wall is showing fraction the total will be a fraction. But using this control it is now possible for fractions to be shown in the wall but the total to be given as a percentage.

Further fractions

Closely related to this activity is the percentage fraction and decimals grid, which can be used to display a square or circle fraction representation.

Other activities that can be used to teach fractions are the clock activity which uses the clock face to show the fraction of minutes passed in an hour. Launch the activity and select the fractions mode, this mode also show equivalent fractions for example ³⁰⁄ ₆₀ = ¹⁄ ₂. The number explorer activity can show the fraction resulting from division of a number.

Growth Mindset

PARENTS we would like to share with you some tips on how you can incorporate some problem solving and mathematical thinking into your daily routine. The Maths Week Problem Solving Philosophy is very much underpinned by the concept of a 'growth mindset'.

Having and developing a 'growth mindset' about maths is a key element in succeeding at maths. The terms 'fixed mindset' and 'growth mindset' were coined by Dr Carol Dweck to describe the underlying beliefs people have about learning and intelligence. Everyone has a mindset or a core belief about how they learn, and the type a person has, i.e. fixed or growth, impacts on the outcomes they can have in that particular area.
A fixed mindset describes someone who believes that their level of intelligence cannot be changed. They are born with a certain limit on what they can achieve and nothing they do will change this. Somebody with a growth mindset believes that their intelligence can grow depending on the amount of effort they put in.
As adults and teachers, we must be careful about the mindset we have about maths. It is important to note at this stage that maths is not a gene that is passed down from a mother or father. A person can succeed in maths depending on the effort they put in. It is therefore important that, as adults, we are saying and doing the right things to encourage this.
Parents should think carefully about the types of praise they use when practicing maths at home. They should not always praise the child that finishes everything first or gets everything right the first time around. This implies that you must be quick and accurate in maths which is not the case. Maths is about exploring possibilities and so effort needs to be praised. Mistakes are a valuable learning experience and should be acknowledged as such.
Words/phrases that encourage a growth mindset and should be used by teachers and parents include:

How did you do that? Share your method with others

Tell me more

Are you sure?

How do you know?

Wow - that's great - well done!

That looks like it took a lot of effort.

How many ways did you try before you found the right way?

What do you plan to do next?

Would you change anything if you had to do it again? Why?

How could you simplify the problem? How could you make it more challenging?

Words to avoid using regularly and that will encourage a fixed mindset include:

As always it is about the context in which you give praise and be conscious of the impact you are having on the other children at home when giving praise.

See more advice on our Parent's Page

There are several great videos clips on YouTube about Growth Mindset:

20 Ideas to Cultivate an Attitude of Gratitude in Your Children

1. Say please and thank you.

Our manners show that we do not believe we are entitled to anything, and that in fact, we appreciate whatever comes our way.

2. Help someone less fortunate.

This could be your neighbor down the street, grandma, or someone you know who is in a tough spot.

3. Volunteer.

Help out at a homeless shelter, soup kitchen or non-profit.

4. Send out thank you cards.

Express your gratitude for those who have added value to your life.

5. Look for awe-inspiring moments in your day.

If the sunset is particularly beautiful, comment on it. If the sound of the baby's laughter warms your heart, tell your children. Encourage them to look for their awe-inspiring moments and share them with you.

6. Share your gratitude at bedtime.

Take five minutes at the end of the day to ask your child what he is thankful for that day.

7. Share your gratitude at the dinner table.

Take a moment at dinner time to share what you are thankful for. Go around the table, allowing each family member a chance to vocalize their gratitude.

8. Compliment others.

Encourage your children to do the same. Share the things you appreciate about another person.

9. Keep a gratitude journal.

This can be in any form that works best for your child's age, skill level and desire. Some kids will want to spend time writing their thoughts down. Others may be more apt to express their gratitude through drawing or painting.

10. Write a letter.

Encourage your child to write a letter to someone who has touched his life in some way. If he is comfortable, make a visit to that person to read the letter out loud. If not, mail it.

11. Create a family gratitude list.

Post it on the fridge. Add to it when necessary.

12. Create a family gratitude journal.

Leave it somewhere where everyone can access it and encourage your family to write in it whenever they are feeling grateful.

13. Give someone a gift.

Help your child earn the money and purchase the gift. Or make a gift together.

14. Always look for the positive.

Find something positive in frustrating situations and discuss it.

15. Practice turning complaints in to praises.

Coach your children to reword their complaint in to something that they appreciate instead.

16. Create a gratitude jar.

Encourage your kids to add to it anytime they are feeling grateful for something or someone.

17. Donate to a nonprofit.

Nonprofits serve people in need and at this time of the year they are always looking for basic necessities, meals and gifts to give to those in need.

18. Take gratitude walks.

While you walk, look for the simple pleasures in the day, such as the warm sun or the birds singing and express appreciation for them. Use this time to ask your kids what they are grateful for.

19. Ask why.

As your child gets better at expressing gratitude, dig deeper. Ask why he is grateful for something and how it affects his day.

20. Work through envy.

Help your child work through any feelings of jealousy she may have. Envy can come when we are not feeling thankful for what we have, and are focusing instead on what others have.

Gratitude is a skill. An attitude of gratitude is a positive way of looking at life. Gratitude can increase our children's happiness, teach them to be more empathetic and help them to be more thankful for everything they have.
