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?
