Coding and Robotics

Our CAPS Grade 5 Coding and Robotics module is perfect for Intermediate Phase learners — developing Python programming skills, functions, and basic data structures through adaptive interactive coding education.

Grade: Grade 5

Age: Ages 10–12

Curriculum: CAPS

Subject: Technology & Computing

What to Expect from CAPS Grade 5 Coding and Robotics

Grade 5 Coding and Robotics develops more confident Python programming — building on Grade 4 foundations to write more sophisticated programs using functions, lists, and structured problem-solving approaches. EdSoft's adaptive module builds programming competence progressively.

Functions

Functions — reusable blocks of code that perform a specific task — are introduced as a fundamental programming tool. Learners write their own functions with parameters and return values, developing understanding of how to organise code efficiently.

Lists and Basic Data Structures

Lists are introduced as a way to store multiple related values — learners create, access, and manipulate lists in Python, applying them to practical programming problems.

Structured Problem Solving

Grade 5 develops a more structured approach to problem-solving — decomposing complex problems into smaller sub-problems, designing algorithms before writing code, and testing programs systematically.

Robotics: Sensors and Control

Grade 5 robotics develops more sophisticated robot control — learners program robots to respond to sensor input, creating more autonomous and interactive robotic behaviour.
