 Learning Objectives

During the lesson you will be learning:

What is meant by the term algorithm

How to write an algorithm

 60 Second Challenge

Why might the computer not be creating the sandwich

correctly and what might the computer need to be able to
create the sandwich correctly??
 Providing Instructions

Decide who is going to be person A

and who is going to be person B

Person A must describe the

algorithm for making a jam
sandwhich to person B

Being honest, you must record on a

whiteboard how many times Person
B makes an error in making a Jam
sandwich due to unclear instructions
 60 Second Whiteboard Challenge

Person A has just described the algorithm for making a

jam sandwich

What might be meant by the term algorithm?

 Writing an Algorithm

Create your own algorithm based on a routine you are

familiar with (getting ready for school, driving a car,
playing a computer game, making a cup of tea).
