Begin with a discussion on what an algorithm is. Define it as platform for using
a step-by-step procedure or set of rules to solve a problem or creating the flowchart

of algorithms. Explain that flowcharts use different shapes to
represent different actions or decisions.

Explain three ways to do proper hand-washing, such as


wetting hands, applying soap, rubbing hands together,
rinsing, and drying.

Use a flowchart to visually represent the steps of proper


hand-washing. Include decision points like "Is soap
available?" to make the algorithm interactive.

Discuss the steps to prepare beverages with or without sugar


and/or milk. For example, boiling water, adding tea leaves or
coffee powder, adding sugar or milk as desired.

Use another flowchart to represent the beverage preparation


steps. Include options like "Add sugar?" or "Add milk?" to
show decision-making in the algorithm.
Assessment
1. Draw a flowchart showing the steps of proper hand-
washing.
2. Fill in the blanks for decision points like "Is soap
available?"
3. Answer questions about the algorithm's steps.

Reflection (10mins)
Use peer discussion and effective questioning to find out
from learners what they have learnt during the lesson.

Take feedback from learners and summarize the lesson.


Homework/Project Work/Community Engagement Suggestions
 Draw a flowchart for preparing a beverage with or without sugar and/or milk.
 Complete decision points like "Add sugar?" or "Add milk?"
 Describe the steps in writing using pseudocode format.

Convert or translate the same flowchart algorithm into a


Pseudocode format. (do a vice versa translation example to
reinforce critical thinking)

Briefly go over the steps of proper hand-washing discussed


in the previous lesson.

Show the flowchart created earlier and explain each step in


detail.
Ask learners to identify decision points and explain their
significance.

Explain the steps involved in preparing a beverage (tea,


coffee, or fruit juice) with or without sugar and/or milk.

Discuss variations in beverage preparation based on


individual preferences.

Use a blank flowchart template on the board or screen to


start creating the algorithm together as a class.
Divide learners into small groups.

Assign each group a specific beverage (e.g., tea with milk


and sugar, black coffee, orange juice).

Instruct groups to brainstorm and create a flowchart for their


assigned beverage preparation process.

Encourage creativity and inclusion of decision points in the


flowcharts
