Coding
Level 1 Notes :
� Write a code of symbols that correspond to numbers o Example : 0 =*, 1 =@, 2 =$, 3 =#, 4 =<, 5 =%, 6 =&, and so on . � Show the person the code of
Task : � numbers and symbols Ask the person to use the code to generate a number . o Example : what number is equivalent to $@
Look at the code and generate the number
Level 2 Notes :
� Write a code of symbols that correspond to a familiar number . o Code of symbols might be 2 =$, 3 =#, 4 =<, 5 =%, 0 =* o Familiar number might be zip code ( 23450 ), phone number ( 522‐4350 ), or other number . � Show the person the code of numbers and symbols � Ask the person to use the code to find the numbers . o Example : what numbers are equivalent to $ # < % * and how are the numbers familiar . o Example : what numbers are equivalent to % $ $ < # % * and how are the numbers familiar .
Task : � Look at the code to find the numbers � How are the numbers familiar ?
Level 3 Notes :
� Write a code of symbols that correspond to letters o Example : A = Q , B = W , C = E , D = R , E = T , F = Y , G = U , H = I , I = O , J = P , K = A , L = S , M = D , N = F , O = G ,
P = H , Q = J , R = K , S = L , T = Z , U = X , V = C , W = V , X = B , Y = N , Z = M . � Show the person the code � Ask the person to use the code to find a word . o Example : what word is equivalent to KTR ( RED ) � Find longer words and multiple words with sentences as the person progresses .
