Lesson 1 – Q1 Cognia Standards & Benchmarks
Strand: Coding
Competency: Define algorithm and flowchart in the context of problem-solving
and Create simple algorithms to solve basic [Link] try Convert an algorithm
into a flowchart using standard symbols.
Topic: Algorithm & flowchart
Objectives: At the end of the lesson, each student should be able to:
● Define an algorithm and explain its importance.
● Understand the characteristics of a good algorithm.
● Explain what a flowchart is and why it is used.
● Identify basic flowchart symbols.
● Create a simple algorithm and represent it using a flowchart.
Lesson Description
the fundamental concepts of algorithms and flowcharts, which are essential tools in
computational problem-solving. Students will learn how to create step-by-step
procedures (algorithms) to solve problems and represent them visually using
flowcharts.
The lesson begins with real-life examples to help students understand the importance
of structured problem-solving. It then explains the characteristics of a good algorithm
and introduces common flowchart symbols used to represent logical processes.
Through interactive discussions and activities, students will practice designing
algorithms and drawing flowcharts for basic tasks such as addition, decision-making
(even/odd numbers), and real-world scenarios like making a cup of tea.
By the end of the lesson, students will be able to analyze problems, develop logical
step-by-step solutions, and visualize their ideas using flowcharts, setting a strong
foundation for programming and computational thinking.
Introduction 10 mins
Begin by asking:
"What do you do first when you wake up in the morning?"
"What steps do you take to make a cup of tea?"
Explain that these daily tasks follow a sequence of steps, just like a
computer follows an algorithm to solve a problem.
Define Algorithm:
An algorithm is a step-by-step procedure to solve a specific problem.
Show a simple real-life example of an algorithm (e.g., Steps to brush
teeth).
Learning Experiences 40 mins
Activity 1: Example Task: Find the sum of two numbers
1. Start
2. Input two numbers
3. Add the numbers
4. Display the sum
5. End
Draw the flowchart on the board and explain how each symbol
represents a step.
Ask students to create a flowchart for:
• Making a cup of tea
• Checking if a number is even or odd
Activity 2: Check Whether a Number is Even or Odd
Algorithm:
1. Start
2. Input a number
3. Check if the number is divisible by 2
o If Yes → Display "Even Number"
o If No → Display "Odd Number"
4. End
Flowchart:
Symbols used:
• Oval (Start/End)
• Parallelogram (Input/Output)
• Rectangle (Process)
• Diamond (Decision)
(The flowchart will include a decision box to check if the number is divisible by 2
and direct the flow accordingly to even or odd output.)
