Question

step 2 & 3: plan the steps & identify decisions
do this:

• decompose the task into smaller steps.
• use the different colored sticky notes to identify:
• process (e.g., identify student interests, check students available time, etc)
• decision points (e.g., does the activity align with the students interest? etc)

answer the questions below:

1. what smaller steps does your algorithm need to follow?
2. what decision points will your algorithm include?
3. what outcomes will result from each decision point?

Explanation:

Step1: Analyze the task - algorithm steps

The task is about creating an algorithm. Smaller steps could be things like gathering data about students (e.g., interests, available time).

Step2: Identify decision - points

Decision points could be whether a proposed activity matches student interests, or if the activity fits within the student's available time.

Step3: Determine outcomes

If an activity aligns with student interests, the outcome could be the student participating in the activity. If not, the outcome could be exploring other activities.

Answer:

1. Smaller steps: Gather student - interest data, check student available time.
2. Decision points: Does the activity align with student interests? Does the activity fit within student available time?
3. Outcomes: If yes to interest - alignment: Student participates. If no to interest - alignment: Explore other activities. If yes to time - fit: Proceed with activity. If no to time - fit: Adjust activity time or find another activity.
