Year 7 & 8

In addition to the below, you can take lots of content from this great course https://csermoocs.appspot.com/78making_apps/

Computational Thinking and Algorithms

• Inventing and playing out algorithms - give each student a number on a card and act out a sorting algorithm

• You have a pack of cards. You can only look at two at a time. Write a sorting algorithm that will sort all the Hearts from smallest to biggest (Ace is 1). Represent this as a flowchart.

• Create your own flowchart for Rock Paper Scissors, or "I'm guessing of a number between 1 and 100".
