## Prior learning/place of lesson in scheme of work
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
Learn how to creating a **while loop**, `while condition do` to repeat code while a condition is true. We will be learning how to create a digi yoyo app using a while loop, a variable, as well as basic commands, such as pause and show number.

## Progression Pathways / Computational Thinking Framework
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
#### Algorithms
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
* Uses diagrams to express solutions.(AB)
|
||
|
|
* 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)
|
||
|
|
* Recognises that different algorithms exist for the same problem (AL) (GE)
|
||
|
|
* Represents solutions using a structured notation (AL) (AB)
|
||
|
|
* Can identify similarities and differences in situations and can use these to solve problems (pattern recognition)(GE)
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
#### Programming & Development
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
* Creates programs that implement algorithms to achieve given goals (AL)
|
||
|
|
* Declares and assigns variables(AB)
|
||
|
|
* Uses a variable and relational operators within a loop to govern termination (AL) (GE)
|
||
|
|
* Selects the appropriate data types(AL) (AB
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
#### Data & Data Representation
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
* Uses filters or can perform single criteria searches for information.(AL)
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
#### Communication Networks
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
* Demonstrates responsible use of technologies and online services, and knows a range of ways to report concerns Understands how search engines rank search results (AL)
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
#### Information Technology
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
* Collects, organizes, and presents data and information in digital content (AB)
|
||
|
|
* Makes appropriate improvements to solutions based on feedback received, and can comment on the success of the solution (EV)
|
||
|
|
* Recognises ethical issues surrounding the application of information technology beyond school.
|

Computational Thinking Concept: AB = Abstraction; DE = Decomposition; AL = Algorithmic Thinking; EV = Evaluation; GE = Generalisation
