Lesson Plan Title: Introduction to Algorithm and Flowchart

Grade Level: 5th grade

Objectives:

1. Understand the basic concepts of algorithm and flowchart.


2. Learn how to create simple algorithms and flowcharts.
3. Practice problem-solving skills using algorithms and
flowcharts.

Materials Needed:

 Whiteboard and markers


 Printed copies of sample algorithms and flowcharts
 Computers or laptops with a simple coding software, such as
Scratch or Blockly.

Introduction (10 minutes):

 Ask the students if they have ever heard the terms


"algorithm" and "flowchart" before, and what they think they
mean.
 Introduce the concept of algorithm and flowchart and
explain their importance in modern life.

Direct Instruction (30 minutes):

 Define the term "algorithm" and explain its basic concepts,


such as input, output, process, and decision-making.
 Demonstrate how to create a simple algorithm, such as a
recipe for making a sandwich or a set of instructions for
drawing a picture.
 Introduce the concept of flowchart and explain its basic
symbols and uses.
 Demonstrate how to create a simple flowchart based on a
given algorithm.

Guided Practice (20 minutes):

 Provide the students with different challenges or prompts to


create algorithms and flowcharts, such as a set of
instructions for solving a math problem or a sequence of
steps for playing a game.
 Encourage the students to work in pairs or small groups to
brainstorm and refine their algorithms and flowcharts, and to
ask for feedback from their peers and the teacher.

Independent Practice (20 minutes):

 Ask the students to create their own algorithms and


flowcharts, using the skills and concepts they have learned
in class.
 Encourage the students to think creatively and to use
decision-making and problem-solving skills to make their
algorithms and flowcharts more complex.

Closure (10 minutes):

 Ask the students to share their algorithms and flowcharts


with the class, explaining their thought process and the
features of their designs.
 Summarize the main points of the lesson, emphasizing the
definition and importance of algorithm and flowchart, the
basic concepts of input, output, process, and decision-
making, and the practice of problem-solving skills using
algorithms and flowcharts.
