Year 2

Lesson 2 Same but different

Curriculum > KS1 > Unit > Lesson

Learners will focus on sequences, and consider the importance of the order of instructions within a sequence. They will create sequences using the same instructions in different orders. They will then test these sequences to see how the different orders affect the outcome.

Learning objectives

To explain what happens when we change the order of instructions

  • I can use the same instructions to create different algorithms
  • I can use an algorithm to program a sequence on a floor robot
  • I can show the difference in outcomes between two sequences that consist of the same commands
