Algorithms


This term Year 2 will be finding out about how we programme computers to make them work.

We have been introduced to a new word called 'Algorithms'. Do you know what it means?

Algorithms are a set of instructions to do a task and they describe everyday activities that can be followed by humans and computers.

This week we started by putting everyday tasks in order that Miss Hatton had got confused with. 

We found out that algorithms need to be:
In order
Step by step
Short and simple
Clear and precise

We then played on an APP called Bee- Bot where we had to move the Bee-Bot around the maze using algorithms. We did a super job!
