Word Wall · Grades 3-5 · Computer Science
5 words: algorithm, fair, outcome, trade-off, compare.
Pick a format and a language, then press Print. Wall cards print sideways (landscape), two to a page. Kids can draw in the empty boxes.
Pick a language, then press Print. Eight cards to a page: cut on the dashed lines for pocket charts, matching games and word sorts.
Pick a language, then press Print. One page per student: they write what each word means in their own words and draw it.
Pick a language, then press Print. A quick check: match each word to its meaning, then fill in the missing word in each sentence. The answer key prints on page 2.
Pick a language, then press Print. One page for families: the words and what they mean, with an easy way to practice at home.
Download the words (CSV) for Quizlet, Gimkit, Kahoot or a spreadsheet: word, meaning, example, and the same in Spanish.
The Spanish is a first draft. A native speaker has not checked it yet, so read it over before you print.

Practiquen en casa. Elijan una palabra y pregúntenle a su hijo o hija qué significa. Después, túrnense para usarla en una oración sobre su día. Cinco minutos bastan.
