How to do Iterations
For AS/O level students.
Greetings Sir,

You are right that such is the problem and students find iterations difficult. No doubt about that.

I have devised my own way for that and until now I have found it VERY successful. So go on and read…

At first I teach:

 What is counting (count = count +1)


 Totaling (total = total + …)
 Sequence

cabinet/SequenceExercises.ppt
 Decisions (IF…THEN…ELSE)

 Case…Endcase

 Flowcharts of sequence and decisions.

Now the trouble part starts; i.e. Iterations. To teach this fully I mostly use OL past papers questions and
their flowcharts.

And divide them in five different formats: That is:

Format 1: Simple For…Next Loop

Format 2: While…Endwhile/Wend Loop

Format 3: Repeat…Until Loop

Format 4: Nested For…Next Loop.

Format 5: Everything else that has no iteration in it.

Make your students learn these formats (ONE BY ONE and BY HEART) and their application to the
mentioned questions. Then ask them to use a HLL language to write program for these. Then bring
variety to it and march them to solve Array problems, file manipulation using format 1, functions,
recursion vs. iteration, questions where they have to find out problems etc. Alongside make sure they
are doing flowcharts and dry runs.

Now look into images below. Solve few questions from every format and upload that if you like to.
Remember not every line of the format is always used but only those which are required.
