How do computers use input and output to get and give the information that they need to solve problems?
In today's lesson we'll be looking at inputs/outputs and understanding how people interact with computers. To get started open the slide deck and click on the input and output quiz.
Input
Output
In authentic contexts and taking account of end-users, students decompose problems to create simple algorithms using the three building blocks of programing: sequence, selection, and iteration. They implement these algorithms by creating programs that use inputs, outputs, sequence, basic selection using comparative operators, and iteration. They debug simple algorithms and programs by identifying when things go wrong with their instructions and correcting them, and they are able to explain why things went wrong and how they fixed them.
