Debug the Dragon's Path: A 1st Grade Algorithm Challenge Quiz (Hard) Hoja de trabajo • Descarga gratuita en PDF con clave de respuestas
Can you spot the error in a hero's map? Students evaluate multi-step sequences to find the most efficient route through a logic puzzle.
Panorama pedagógico
This algorithm challenge assesses students' foundational understanding of computational thinking through a variety of logic-based scenarios. Utilizing a scaffolded approach, students navigate through debugging, sequencing, and decomposition tasks to strengthen their problem-solving skills. It is an ideal formative assessment for 1st grade students to demonstrate mastery of basic coding logic and instructions in a non-digital format.

Preguntas Frecuentes
Yes, this logic quiz is an excellent no-prep resource for a substitute because the clear explanations and answer keys allow any teacher to guide students through computational thinking concepts without needing a computer science background.
Most first-grade students will finish this logic quiz in about 15 to 20 minutes, making it a perfect quick check for understanding during a technology or math block.
This computer science quiz facilitates differentiation by providing clear visual scenarios that can be read aloud to emerging readers or used as a challenge for advanced students to explain their reasoning for each debugged step.
While designed as a hard-level challenge for 1st grade, this algorithm quiz is also suitable for kindergarten students needing enrichment or 2nd grade students as a review of computational logic.
Teachers can use this computer science quiz as an exit ticket to measure how well students understand the concept of efficiency and debugging before moving on to hands-on robotics or block-based coding.
