Year 10A computational thinking

In the Digital Technologies course students design a project for the school community based on Sustainable Development Goals SC4 based on providing quality education for all. Students work independently and collaboratively to decompose problems into algorithms. They then use these algorithms to create programs with inputs, outputs, sequence, selection using comparative and logical operators and variables of different data types, and iteration. Once they comfortable with the computational thinking concepts students design a prototype project to test in their learning groups.

CTLO10: Students have an understanding of variables and can use of appropriate naming conventions

SC1: I can write a basic program using text or visual language.

SC2: start using variables and data types

SC3: I can start testing and debugging my code

CTLO11:Students can demonstrate the use of functions and selection with conditional logic, including compound logical operators

Students Can

1. demonstrate that I can operate within a text-based programming environment to create a program to implement an algorithm. my program reveals an understanding of:

2. iteration (the step event repeats constantly)

3. selection through conditional logic (if player_coins <=0)

4. global variables (player_coins)

5. functions and parameters (instance_create).
