Algorithms: Year 7 – planning tool
This planning resource for Year 7 is for the topic of Algorithms. Students are introduced to the use of algorithms for sorting and classifying. They can use flow charts to do this. Algorithmic thinking is a design process and flow charts are used to show a sequence of steps and/or instructions and require decision making by the user or the inputs.

Making triangles
Students study the concept of triangle inequality, which determines if three positive numbers can serve as the side lengths of a triangle. This principle states that a triangle is possible if the largest of the three numbers is smaller than the sum of the other two. To explore this, students experiment with various combinations of three natural numbers.

Celebrity quadrilaterals: Algorithms
In this lesson, students develop an understanding of how a decision tree algorithm works using a game. They apply this understanding to create their own algorithm to classify special quadrilaterals by their properties.
