Topic

Math - Random Numbers

Class

Year 7

Prior learning/place of lesson in scheme of work

Learn how to create numbers randomly by using the input of the BBC micro:bit. We will be learning how to create random numbers with input using a local variable as well as simple commands, such as math->random, and show number.

Progression Pathways / Computational Thinking Framework

Algorithms

  • 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)

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)
