Application Package: Funcoding 3

Funcoding 3 – Developing computational thinking in grades 4–8

Funcoding 3 is the third edition of the popular educational application series designed for children aged 10–14. Using interactive applications on the Magic Carpet, students can explore the world of programming without a computer! The math- and logic-themed applications develop skills in coding, decoding, and object control, as well as analytical, spatial, and logical abilities.

All applications meet curriculum requirements and provide valuable support for teachers of grades 4–8. Additional teaching materials, such as lesson plans and activity cards, facilitate preparation of engaging lessons, and various play modes (individual, pair, or group) allow activities to be adapted to students’ needs.

Key features of the package:

• 4 innovative educational applications teaching programming through movement and play.
• Curriculum-compliant content.
• Development of computational thinking, visual-motor coordination, and logical reasoning.
• Engaging programming learning using multiple senses and learning styles.
• Options for individual, pair, or group activities.

Additional materials included:

• Lesson plans with instructions for activities.
• Activity cards reinforcing learned skills.

Applications included in Funcoding 3:

Space Station – a cosmic programming adventure!
Become a crew member of the Space Station and prepare the base for new inhabitants! In this math-logical application, children control robots, develop spatial, logical, and analogical thinking, and learn programming basics. Three difficulty levels allow adaptation to age and skill. Space Station is a perfect way to learn programming without a computer!

Pipeline – repair and design your own construction!
Fix a damaged pipeline and design your own structure. This application develops problem-solving skills, teamwork, and introduces students to algorithms. Three difficulty levels make it suitable for different ages. No computer required—just movement and creativity!

Magic Patterns – develop logical thinking and teamwork!
Solve math-logical puzzles by creating magic patterns! Magic Patterns helps children practice coding and decoding while promoting group collaboration.

Counting Master – become a master of mathematical challenges!
Test your math skills and become a true Math Master! This application develops addition, transformations, formulas, and algorithms. It enhances visual perception, memory, and logical thinking, offering three difficulty levels to suit participants’ abilities. Math has never been so engaging!

Funcoding 3 is an essential tool for teachers who want to engage older students in learning programming and developing key future skills.
