A list of instructions to complete a task

Algorithm

​Algorithms don't have to be complicated

Algorithms give the computer instructions to follow

When the computer executes these instructions we see the output on our monitor

​

Look at the code, what does it tell the program to do?

Algorithm

Timed Pair-Share

With your team, come up with some real-life algorithms that we use in our daily lives.
