Turtle Academy is online coding software which teaches your students to write computer code/computer instructions in an easy to understand manner. This is achieved through writing very simple instructions to create basic (& even complex shapes).

Turtle Academy is also an alternative to using Python Programming and is suitable for less able/younger students who may initially find it difficult to code in Python.

In this 27 page resource, students learn about the following:
- Looping, repeating, iteration to create Regular Polygons
- Different types of shapes i.e. pentagon, hexagon,
- Code Efficiency i.e. loops remove repetition of code

This lesson comes with the following resources:
- Teacher powerpoint (editable)
- Teacher powerpoint (pdf)
- Student worksheet (pdf)
- Homework worksheet (PDF)
- I Can Statements

Get ahead with developing your own and your students’ skills to learn programming. This is an ideal resource to meet computational Thinking standards
