Show Number

Class

Year 7

Prior learning / place of lesson in scheme of work

Learn how to display a number, basic-> show number to generate numbers. We will be learning how to create numbers using show number and pause.

Documentation

Objectives

  • learn how to show a number on the LED screen, one digit at a time
  • learn how to pause program execution for the specified number of milliseconds

Progression Pathways / Computational Thinking Framework

Algorithms

  • Uses diagrams to express solutions.(AB)
  • Designs solutions by decomposing a problem and creates a sub-solution for each of these parts. (DE) (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)
  • Selects the appropriate data types(AL) (AB

Data & Data Representation

  • Defines data types: real numbers and Boolean (AB)

Hardware & Processing

  • Understands the difference between hardware and application software, and their roles within a computer system (AB)

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
