Algorithm Design with Flow Charts

This lesson plan aims to teach Form 3A students about algorithm design using flow charts. The 40-minute lesson will define flow charts, describe standard flow chart symbols, and have students design algorithms with flow charts. Students will learn to represent a program's logic using symbols like processes, inputs/outputs, decisions and connectors. For practice, students will draw a flow chart summing the first 50 natural numbers and be assigned to design a circle area algorithm flow chart for homework.
