This packet is very good for teaching about pixels. It is challenging for the students so it was better for the older kids.

I used this activity after I did a few lessons on binary coding. I loved hearing the positive comments the students were making as they worked on the activities. It is always good to hear them saying how much fun an activity is.

My students absolutely loved these unplugged coding activities. They would ask for these once they were finished other assigned work.
