## Class
|
||||
|
||||
Year 7
|
||||
|
||||
## Prior learning/place of lesson in scheme of work
|
||||
|
||||
Learn how to control a blinking LED. We will be learning how to create a blinking app using the for loop as well as simple commands, such as plot and pause.

## Objectives
|
||||
|
||||
* learn how to repeat code a fixed number of times
|
||||
* learn how to show a number on the LED screen, one digit at a time (scrolling from left to right)
|
||||
* learn how to pause program execution for the specified number of milliseconds
|
||||
* learn how to arithmetic operators operate on numbers and return a number
|
||||

## Progression Pathways / Computational Thinking Framework
|
||||
|
||||
#### Algorithms
|
||||
|
||||
* Uses logical reasoning to predict outputs, showing an awareness of inputs. (AL)
|
||||
* 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)
|
||||
* Uses a variable and relational operators within a loop to govern termination. (AL) (GE)
|
||||
* Uses a range of operators and expressions e.g. Boolean, and applies them in the context of program control. (AL)
|
||||
|
||||
#### Data & Data Representation
|
||||
|
||||
* Understands the difference between data and information. (AB)
|
||||
* Defines data types: real numbers and Boolean. (AB)
|
||||
|
||||
#### Information Technology
|
||||
|
||||
* Collects, organises 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)
|
||||
|
||||
Computational Thinking Concept: AB = Abstraction; DE = Decomposition; AL = Algorithmic Thinking; EV = Evaluation; GE = Generalisation
