CSTA K-12 Computer Science Standards

• CPP.L1:3-04 - Construct a set of statements to be acted out to accomplish a simple task.
• CPP.L1:6-05. Construct a program as a set of step-by-step instructions to be acted out.
• CT.L1:3-03 - Understand how to arrange information into useful order without using a computer.
• CT.L1:6-01 - Understand and use the basic steps in algorithmic problem-solving.
• CT.L1:6-02 - Develop a simple understanding of an algorithm using computer-free exercises.
• CT.L2-07 - Represent data in a variety of ways: text, sounds, pictures, numbers..

Materials Needed: Markers, pens or pencils, four by fours activity worksheet, graph-paper programming assessment, exit-ticket, rubric.

Objective: IWBAT describe how a real world problem can be put into code and then executed without using a computer; understand the challenge of translating real problems into programs; understand that ideas may be clear and yet still be misinterpreted by a computer; practice communicating ideas through codes and symbols.I will be able to demonstrate my understanding by completing an exit ticket.

Do Now: What is an algorithm? a program?

Algorithm -:A list of steps that you can follow to finish a task

Program - An algorithm that has been coded into something that can be run by a machine

Home practice: Code a design in this language to create a design of your choice.

Robotics Exit Ticket   Lesson Thursday 12-11-2014

Name ____________________    Period _____________ Date ______________

Today we tried an exercise from code.org an educational group dedicated to teaching kids to code.

You should have learned what an algorithm means and what the term program means. They are related, but different.

1) What is an Algorithm?

2) What is a program?

3) How are they different?

4) How are they the same or similar (what do they have in common)?

5) Why do we need to go about breaking a real world problem in steps to code so a computer can run them?
