Required Resources
- The following resources help to explore what algorithms are.
- Watch “Computer Science Basics - Algorithms” video (2:29)
- Read Algorithms for Kids
- Watch “Crash Course” video (11:43)
- Read Examples of Algorithms
- Read flowcharts in programming
Additional Resources
- A System to help teaching and learning algorithms https://ieeexplore.ieee.org/document/6462374
- Full course (5 hours) on algorithms
- Machine Learning in education
- Article on modular design
Required Evidence
- Create a flowchart (using Word, Visio, Canva, or whatever program necessary) to demonstrate an algorithm in everyday life. This should have at least 5 steps. See example here. Insert the screenshot, as a separate page, into the document required below.
- Submit a 1-2 page explaining what an algorithm is and provide 3-4 examples of an algorithm in everyday life.
- Formatting – One to two pages maximum; double-spaced, no smaller than 11pt font.
- Use references to support your claims. References do not count towards the 1-2 page minimum/maximum. Any format for references is allowed but APA is preferred.
Evidence Review Criteria
- Criterion 1: Educator understands the definition and can provide examples of algorithms.
- Criterion 2: Educator can create a flowchart using the proper symbols for an algorithm in everyday life.
