Starter Challenge

Tell the class the you're going to think about the sequence of getting dressed.

  • What should we put on first?
  • What should we put on next?
  • What should we put on last?

Either:

  • Using the Clothing Items sequence cards, ask the students if there is more than one order in which we can get dressed?

or

  • Using the website and Student lesson, ask move the clothing items from one box to another. Is there is more than one order in which we can get dressed?

A computer needs to have a sequence of steps to solve the problem.
