3.1.1 Use a systematic approach to problem solving and algorithm creation representing those algorithms using pseudo-code and flowcharts. Explain simple algorithms in of their inputs, processing and outputs. Determine the purpose of simple algorithms. Students can understand algorithms expressed in pseudo-code and flowcharts and use these methods to write algorithms. They can trace the execution of algorithms using a trace table and identify the purpose of an algorithm. They can identify the inputs and outputs of an algorithm together with the required processing, 2 hours Throughout learning to program, students should be exposed to how algorithms can be expressed using or flowcharts.
