Session-3:

Algorithms: Loops, Conditionals, and Sequential Thinking

SESSION DESCRIPTION AND OBJECTIVES

Session-3 introduces students to Algorithms: Loops, Conditionals, and Sequential Thinking. The session goals include:

  1. Introduce students to the notion and relevance of loops, conditionals and sequential thinking in programming. / Iniciarse en el significado y relevancia en programación de loops, condicionales y pensamiento secuencial.
  2. Understand the link between algorithms and mathematics. / Entender la relación existente entre los algoritmos y las matemáticas.
  3. Practice pseudocodes through sequential thinking. / Pseudocódigos y pensamiento secuencial.

To accomplish these goals, Session-3 includes activities described on the cards below. Work through the activities described in each card. Note that the activities in the cards also include programming tasks. Access the programming tasks using the links next to each card.
