Approach programming: In the future, it is just as important to be able to program as to be able to speak a language, because our society becomes more automated and digitized. Programming prepares children to obtain skills they can use when they are adults.

Skills which can be learnt from programming:

• Creative and logical thinking

• Spatial awareness

• Problem-solving ability

• Structure

• Collaborate

Learn about the binary system: The binary number system plays a central role in how information of all kinds is stored on computers. Understanding binary can lift a lot of the mystery around computers, because at a fundamental level they’re really just mathematical machines that operate on digital information, meaning the information is either ‘off’ or ‘on’. This is represented in computing with the binary number system, which only uses 0 and 1. These binary digits are called bits in computing. So, in computing 0 = off and 1 = on. This allows computers to use a series of ‘switches’ to make decisions based on a series of logical decisions (this is what a computer programme or ‘code’ is).

The binary numeral system is a way to count using only two digits: 0 and 1. In binary, each digit's place value is twice as much as that of the next digit to the right (since each digit holds two values). In decimal - the system that humans these days normally use - each digit holds ten values, and the place value increases by a power of ten (ones, tens, hundreds, etc.). The place value of the rightmost digit, in either case, is 1.

Understand numbers and calculations: Numbers and calculations are very important in daily life. When children use math, they become familiar with the properties of numbers and how to calculate them. When they use it in an active way, it stimulates the senses and mobility. It brings about the development of problem-solving skills and resilience which result in better physical performance. Solving math problems requires relational skills, but it also increases self-confidence, stimulates abstract thinking and helps develop attitudes.

Reasoning: Reasoning is the capacity to solve problems. Our ability to reason allows us to use knowledge to understand the world. . When a child learns to reason and to argue, it will improve their behaviour and communication skills. They will have their own opinion and draw their own conclusions from certain situations. This accelerates cognitive and emotional development.
