These topics build foundational skills in logic and algorithmic thinking, which are highly useful for
developing problem-solving skills and a programming mindset early on.
1.1.1 Understand and apply basic logical operators: AND, OR, and NOT.
1.1.2 Learn about the XOR (exclusive OR) operator and identify situations where it applies.
1.1.3 Recognize implications (IF...THEN statements) and their role in logic and programming.
1.2.2 Recognize contradictions and identify statements that contradict each other.
2.1.1 Understand what an algorithm is and why it’s important in solving problems.
2.1.2 Learn basic algorithms, such as finding the maximum or minimum in a list.
2.1.3 Use algorithms to perform simple calculations, like summing elements in an array.
2.2.1 Define pseudocode and its purpose as a tool for planning algorithms.
2.2.2 Write pseudocode for simple processes, such as calculating averages or checking for even/odd
numbers.
2.2.3 Translate word problems into pseudocode to build problem-solving skills.
In Grade 10, these extensions deepen logical reasoning and introduce structured approaches to
algorithmic design, setting a solid foundation for advanced math and computer science topics.
1.3.1 Construct simple proofs by applying logical reasoning and mathematical operations.
1.3.2 Practice proving simple properties (e.g., sum of two even numbers is even).
1.3.3 Identify basic proof techniques, such as direct proof and proof by contradiction.
2.3 Flowcharts
2.3.1 Understand flowchart symbols (e.g., process, decision, start/end) and their uses.
2.3.2 Create flowcharts for simple algorithms, such as sorting or searching tasks.
