Summary/Abstract: The article presents the results of pilot studies on the use of the Edu-Matrix teaching program in classes in the third grade of primary school. This program is a complementary tool that is designed to support the development of a child’s computational thinking already at the stage of early school education. With this program, students prepare to fully solve problems using games, computer simulations and visual programming. The student naturally develops his skills, and over time he begins to solve more and more difficult problems with increased complexity, moves towards advanced algorithms, chooses a programming language, and then learns it and starts programming. This chain of learning situations precedes and/or should be concurrent with learning programming using computer programs.
