Big Idea
Algorithms are essential in solving problems computationally.
Elaboration
- sets of rules or instructions that precisely define a sequence of operations
- Sample questions to support inquiry with students:
- How does acting out a solution help us to develop an algorithm?
- How is an algorithm formulated?
- What makes one algorithm better than another algorithm?
- How do we know that our algorithm is correct?
- Can all problems be solved by a series of predefined steps?
