## Prior learning/place of lesson in scheme of work
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
Learn how to create a catch the egg game game with **plot**, `led->plot` , **unplot**, `led->unplot`, and **acceleration** `input -> acceleration` to turn on and off LED lights on the LED screen. We will be learning how to create a catch the egg game app using global variables, forever loop, local variable, input acceleration, math min, math max, math random, math mod, if (conditionals), game library as well as simple commands, such as led plot, led unplot, and pause.

## Progression Pathways / Computational Thinking Framework
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
#### Algorithms
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
* Designs solutions (algorithms) that use repetition and two-way selection, ie if, then and else.(AL)
|
||
|
|
* Uses logical reasoning to predict outputs, showing an awareness of inputs (AL)
|
||
|
|
* Recognises that different solutions exist for the same problem (AL) (AB) Understands that iteration is the repetition of a process such as a loop (AL)
|
||
|
|
* Represents solutions using a structured notation (AL) (AB)
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
#### Programming & Development
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
* Creates programs that implement algorithms to achieve given goals (AL)
|
||
|
|
* Declares and assigns variables(AB)
|
||
|
|
* Understands the difference between, and appropriately uses if and if, then and else statements(AL)
|
||
|
|
* Uses a variable and relational operators within a loop to govern termination (AL) (GE)
|
||
|
|
* Has practical experience of a high-level textual language, including using standard libraries when programming(AB) (AL)
|
||
|
|
* Uses a range of operators and expressions e.g. Boolean, and applies them in the context of program control. (AL)
|
||
|
|
* Selects the appropriate data types(AL) (AB
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
Computational Thinking Concept: AB = Abstraction; DE = Decomposition; AL = Algorithmic Thinking; EV = Evaluation; GE = Generalisation
