Aniqua (PE7B) of Algorithm Activities

Algorithm Activities

Activity 1

On the table below, think about where you see ALGORITHMS in everyday life.

• What INPUT do you have to put in?

• What is the LIST OF INSTRUCTIONS?

• What is the OUTPUT that you get out of the end?

You can use pictures to answer the questions as well as words if you want to.

You can add more rows to your tables if you can think of more than 3 algorithms.

INPUT	ALGORITHM	OUTPUT
Oil, egg, flour ,cocoa powder, vanilla, baking powder, milk, sugar, chocolate chips,	Recipe	Chocolate brownie

Activity 2 - Writing Algorithms

In this activity, you are going to write algorithms for someone else to follow.

What steps do you need to include to make it really clear and so the other person knows EXACTLY what to do?

Algorithm for moving from the school office to your classroom.

INPUT	ALGORITHM	OUTPUT
Team Player 1	School Walk down to the red door by the gate  Take 7 steps forward  Turnleft and take 20 steps turn to left and take 12 steps and turn right and take 4	Team  Player 2 Following the instructions  Room 2

When your algorithm does not work and you have to fix it and change it, this is called DEBUGGING.

What changes did you have to make to your algorithms? 

List on here the changes that you made. 

Why did you have to make these changes?

What did not work?

ALGORITHM

Write the instructions here.     Start  Grab potatoes peel  Cut them into chips Wash them in a bowl  Grab them out put on tea towel to dry  Grab pot  Fill it up with oil  Put chips in Wait till change colour  Take them out and onto a plate

Algorithm for adding 4 even numbers and then finding their average

INPUT	ALGORITHM	OUTPUT
Team Player 1 Reading out the instructions.	Write the instructions here. Grab potatoes peel Cut them into chips Wash them in a bowl  Grab them out put on tea towel to dry  Grab pot  Fill it up with oil  Put chips in Wait till change colour  Take them out and onto a plate	Team  Player 2 Following the instructions

Talofa this is my tech task and it's about algorithm and the meaning for algorithm is a process or set of rules to be followed in calculations or other problem-solving operations, especially by a computer.
