This set of coloring pages invites children to color ghostly numbers with an algorithm or set of directions. There are Blockly blocks that display each of the directions on the coloring pages . Children will use Blockly blocks when they code on Code.org and many other coding programs. The ghostly numbers with an algorithm pages help children visualize how online blocks will be arranged to complete a task.
Getting the Ghostly Numbers with an Algorithm Pages
First, you will need to download the set.
Second, if you don’t have Acrobat Reader you will need to download it. The algorithm page is an Acrobat Reader PDF file.
Third, you will need to go to your download file and open the page. You may be asked if you want the file to open right after you download it. If you are, you won’t have to hunt for it in your download file.
Finally, when you open the calendar you will find hyperlinked activities. When you click on them, you will be taken to each of the activity’s locations on the web.
