Follow and create algorithms: Year 3 – planning tool
This planning resource for Year 3 is for the topic of Follow and create algorithms. Students create and follow algorithms involving a short sequence of steps to generate number patterns. They use digital tools such as spreadsheets and calculators to explore algorithms with larger sets of numbers. Students identify any patterns generated and describe and explain them.
