Activities in this teaching pack include display posters to suggest outputs that could result from different inputs when pressing buttons on toys, a vocabulary word bank to help record the functions of different inputs when buttons are pressed on a programmable toy and a template to identify and record the functions of different inputs using a programmable toy.

The interactive presentation gets the children to explore how to record different outputs that can result when buttons are pressed on a programmable toy.

This lesson is part of a computing scheme of work to get the children to select and record sequences of instructions that can be used to control and move a programmable toy along  and around different routes. There are teaching activities for shared learning, differentiated worksheets to support independent learning and interactive presentations to introduce concepts and key skills.
