Algorithms Years 3–4
At this level, students follow and describe algorithms involving sequencing, comparison operators (branching) and iteration.
Suggested activities
Introducing algorithms
In this sequence of lessons, students design a sequence of steps for others to follow. They convey their instructions to peers and evaluate the work of others to determine if the outcome was successful.
Take a LEGO building challenge
In pairs, explore giving and following a sequence of steps and decisions to build a LEGO® toy.
Chasey game algorithm
Use the game of chasey to explore algorithms. The chasey game is presented as a flow chart. Explore writing algorithms for other physical activities.
