23 Standards

1

5.AP.A.01

Develop, compare, and refine multiple algorithms for the same task and determine which algorithm is the most appropriate.

2

5.AP.C.01

Using a programming language, create programs that include sequences, loops, conditionals, event handlers, and variables that utilize mathematics operations to manipulate values in order to solve a problem or express an idea.

3

5.AP.M.01

Decompose a large problem into smaller, manageable sub-problems and then further into sets of sequenced instructions to facilitate the program development process.

4

5.AP.M.02

Modify, remix, or incorporate portions of an existing program into one’s own work, to develop or add more advanced features (grade-level appropriate).

5

5.AP.PD.01

Use an iterative process to plan the development of a program by including others’ perspectives and considering user preferences while solving problems.

6

5.AP.PD.02

Observe intellectual property rights and give appropriate attribution when creating or remixing programs.

7

5.AP.PD.03

Create, test, and debug a program that includes sequencing, repetition, and variables in a programming language to ensure it runs as intended.

8

5.AP.PD.04

Communicate and explain program development to peers and adults using comments, presentations, and demonstrations.

9

5.AP.V.01

Create programs that use variables to store and modify grade-level appropriate data.

10

5.CS.D.01

Describe and model how internal and external parts of computing devices function to form a system. Describe how some components rely on others for correct functionality.

11

5.CS.HS.01

Model and explain how information flows through hardware and software to accomplish a task.

12

5.CS.T.01

Identify, using appropriate technical terminology, simple hardware and software problems that may occur during everyday use, discuss problems with peers and adults, apply a variety of strategies for solving these problems, and provide evidence why these strategies did or did not work.

13

5.DA.CVT.01

Interpret and communicate data in a variety of visual formats to highlight the relationships among the data to support a claim.

14

5.DA.IM.01

Refer to data sets to highlight or propose cause-and-effect relationships, predict outcomes, or communicate ideas.

15

5.DA.S.01

Convert different types of information into various formats to be used across multiple software/ hardware.

16

5.IC.C.01

Evaluate how different technologies created by people from diverse backgrounds have contributed to computing and helped to change the world.

17

5.IC.C.02

Develop, test, and refine computational artifacts to improve accessibility and usability for all users.

18

5.IC.SI.01

Develop a code of conduct, explain, and practice grade-level appropriate behavior and responsibilities while participating online. Identify and report inappropriate behavior.

19

5.IC.SI.02

Discuss ways existing computing devices or computational products can be improved by collaborating with outside resources (other grade levels, businesses) to gain their diverse perspectives.

20

5.IC.SLE.01

Discuss personal consequences and social impact of violating intellectual property rights or failing to provide appropriate attribution.

21

5.NI.C.01

Define personal identifiable information (e.g., digital footprint) and why it should be protected as related to real world cyber security problems.

22

5.NI.C.02

Discuss real-world cybersecurity problems and explain how personal information can be protected (e.g., antivirus software, backing up data, strong passwords).

23

5.NI.NCO.01

Model how information is deconstructed into packets (smaller pieces), transmitted through multiple devices over the internet and networks, and reassembled at the final destination.
