MindMap Gallery Computer Science
This mind map offers a detailed overview of the foundational topics in computer science for first-grade students. This educational resource is designed to assist educators and curriculum planners in integrating computer science into early education, promoting critical thinking, problem-solving, and awareness of digital citizenship among young learners.

Network and the Internet
Network Communication and Organization
Recognize that by connecting computing devices together they can share information (e.g., remote storage, printing, the internet).
Cybersecurity
Identify what passwords are; explain why they are not shared; and discuss what makes a password strong. Independently, use passwords to access technological devices, apps etc.
Data Analysis
Collection, Visualization and Transformation
With guidance, collect data and present it two different ways.
Storage
With guidance, locate, open, modify and save an existing file with a computing device.
Inference and Models
With guidance, interpret data from a chart or graph (visualization) in order to make a prediction, with or without a computing device.
Algorithms and Programing
Algorithms
With guidance, model daily processes and follow algorithms (sets of step-by-step instructions) to complete tasks verbally, kinesthetically, with robot devices, or a programing language.
Variables
With guidance, model and represent grade level appropriate data (e.g., print, numbers, kinesthetic movement, symbols and robot manipulatives).
Control
With guidance, create programs to accomplish tasks as a means of creative expression or problem solving using a programming language, robot device or unplugged activity, either independently or collaboratively including sequencing and repetition.
Modularity
Decompose (break down) the steps needed to solve a problem into a precise sequence of instructions.
Program Development
Independently or with guidance, create a grade level appropriate document to illustrate thoughts, ideas, and stories in a sequential (step-by- step) manner (e.g., story map, storyboard, and sequential graphic organizer).
Independently or with guidance give credit to ideas, creations and solutions of others while writing and/or developing programs.
Independently and collaboratively, debug programs, which include sequencing and repetition to accomplish tasks as a means of creative expression or problem solving using a programming language and/or unplugged activities.
Use correct terminology (beginning, middle, end...), and explain the choices made in the development of an algorithm and/or program to solve a simple problem.
Community, Global and Ethical Impacts
Culture
Identify how people use many types of technologies in their daily work and personal lives.
Social Interactions
With guidance, identify appropriate and inappropriate behavior. Act responsibly while participating in an online community and know how and who to report concerns.
Safety, Law and Ethics
Keep log in information private, and log off of devices appropriately.
Computing Systems
Devices
Select and use a computing device to perform a variety of tasks for an intended outcome.
Hardware and Software
Use correct terminology in naming and describing the function of common computing devices and components (e.g., laptop, tablet, mouse).
Troubleshooting
Identify simple hardware and software problems that may occur during use (e.g., app or program is not working as expected; no sound is coming from the device; caps lock turned on).
