Algorithms and Flowcharts

Match the following

• Algorithms

• Developing step by step instructions to solve a problem

• Abstraction

• Focussing on the important information only and ignoring irrelevant details

• Decomposition

• Looking for similarities and patterns in problems

• Pattern recognition

• Breaking down problems which are easier to understand

Which set of instructions are correct for the minion Stuart to reach the RED banana?

• Forward 2

  Down 2

• Down 3

  Forward 2

• Forward 2

  Down 3

• Down 2

Reorder the following to form the definition for Algorithms

• Developing

• instructions

• which when

• step by step

• followed solve a problem

Several basics things that you need to really understand a problem are:

• Inputs

• Process

• Outputs

• Order of instructions

• Decisions

A ​ (a)   is a diagram that represents a set of ​ (b)   ​

• Picture
• Story
• Pie Chart
• Table
• Flowchart
• instructions

Match the shape with what it does in a flowchart

• Input/Output

• Terminator

• Direction of flow

• Rectangle

• Start/End

• Diamond

• Decision

• Parallelogram

• A process

• Arrow

A Pseudocode is ​ an ​ (a)   similar to writing in a ​ (b)   Language. Each ​ (c)   is written on a ​ (d)   of its ​own in ​ (e)   using specific words.

• Algorithm
• Programming
• Step
• Line
• Sequence
• Flowchart
• Pseudocode

Look at the image. This image is an example of a what?

Reorder the following Pseudocode

• ELSE go back to sleep

Reorder the following words to form a definition relating to Computational Thinking

• to solve
