The document outlines a series of activities focused on creating and improving algorithms related to daily school routines and tasks. Activities include debugging an existing algorithm, writing new algorithms for specific routines, providing directions, navigating a maze, and documenting a dance move. The emphasis is on clarity and precision in algorithm writing and testing them with peers for improvements.

Unit 1.
1 – Precise Algorithms
Activity 1: Debug the Steps!
Zara has written an algorithm for arriving at school, but she may have made a mistake. Can you spot if any steps are missing or in the wrong order? Write a better version of the algorithm below. 1. Go into the cloakroom. 2. Take off your backpack. 3. Take off your coat. 4. Put your coat on your hook. 5. Put your backpack on the hook.
My improved algorithm:
Activity 2: Write Your Own Algorithm
Choose a school routine (e.g., getting ready for lunch or going to PE) and write an algorithm with clear and precise steps.
Activity 3: Directions Algorithm
Arun invited his friends to his party using an algorithm as directions. Now it’s your turn! Write an algorithm to get from your classroom to the playground (or another school location).
Activity 4: Get Out of the Maze
Use arrows or words to write an algorithm that helps someone find their way through a maze your teacher provides. Include these details: - Where to start - How many steps to take - Which way to turn (left/right) - How far to turn (quarter turns) Activity 5: Dance Move Algorithm 1. Think of a simple dance – it could have 3 or 4 steps. 2. Practise the dance. 3. Write down your dance algorithm clearly below so a friend can follow it exactly.
Activity 6: Test and Improve
Swap your algorithm with a partner. Watch them follow it. Was it clear and precise? If not, improve it below.
