Problem Solving

Algorithms (between Green and Blue)

• Design simple algorithms using sequences, loops, and selection i.e. if statements.
• Design solutions by decomposing a problem into smaller, solvable problems and create a sub-solution for each of these parts
• Understand that algorithms are implemented on digital devices as programs. Uses logical reasoning to predict outcomes.
• Understand abstraction in problem solving means removing unimportant details to solutions.
• Understands that iteration is the repetition of a process such as a loop.

Programming & Development (between Green and Blue)

• Creates programs that implement algorithms to achieve given goals.
• Declares and assigns variables, appropriate use of sequence, selection (if statement) and repetition (loops) in reaching a solution.
• Understands that programming bridges the gap between algorithmic solutions and computers.
• Designs, writes and debugs modular programs using functions.
