Exploring Algorithms

Today is our computing lesson we explored what an algorithm is. We learnt that they are a set of instructions to help carry out a task.

We started by exploring getting dressed and how sometimes it matters which order we get dressed in for example tie and shirt and other times it doesn’t matter. We used paper dolls to practice writing and following our own algorithms to dress the doll.

Finally we ordered instructions for crossing the road and we decided we must do this in the correct order to stay safe.
