Coding and Robotics

Our CAPS Grade 4 Coding and Robotics module is perfect for Intermediate Phase learners — transitioning from block-based to text-based coding and developing structured programming skills through adaptive interactive learning.

Grade: Grade 4

Age: Ages 10–12

Curriculum: CAPS

Subject: Technology & Computing

What to Expect from CAPS Grade 4 Coding and Robotics

Grade 4 marks the transition in coding education — moving from purely block-based tools toward an introduction to text-based programming. EdSoft's adaptive module supports every learner through this important coding transition.

From Blocks to Text

Grade 4 bridges block-based and text-based coding — learners use hybrid tools that show the code behind the blocks, beginning to develop comfort with programming syntax. Python is introduced as the primary text-based language.

Data Types and Variables

Grade 4 develops a more formal understanding of data types — integers, strings, and booleans — and variables as containers for each. Learners write programs that store, retrieve, and manipulate different types of data.

Input and Output

Programs that accept user input and produce output are developed — learners create interactive programs that respond to what a user types.

Conditionals and Loops in Code

If-else statements and for/while loops are implemented in text-based code for the first time — building on the logical understanding developed in the Foundation Phase.

Robotics

Grade 4 robotics extends to programmable robots — learners write programs to control robot movement, developing the connection between code and physical response.
