Foundation Worksheet

The document introduces algorithmic thinking, defining algorithms as step-by-step processes to solve problems and outlining computational thinking as a method of problem-solving akin to computer science. It includes examples of algorithms for finding the largest number, checking if a number is even or odd, and calculating the average of three numbers. Each algorithm is presented with a clear structure and conditional statements.

Topic: Algorithmic Thinking

1. What is an Algorithm?

A step-by-step process to solve a problem is called an algorithm.


2. What is a Computer Problem?

A computer problem is a task or challenge that needs to be solved using a


computer. For example, sorting a list of names, finding the shortest route on a
map, or creating a game.
3. What is computational thinking?
Computational thinking is a way of solving problems like a computer scientist. It
means breaking a problem into smaller parts, looking for patterns, removing
unnecessary details, and designing step-by-step solutions.

Algorithm writing (Using Conditional Statement)


Algorithm 1: Find the Largest Number

Start
Take three numbers as input

Compare the first number with the second

IF the first number is greater THEN compare it with the third

Else compare the second number with the third

Display the largest number

End
Cambridge Section

Algorithm 2: Check if a Number is Even or Odd

Start

Take a number as input

Divide the number by 2

IF the remainder is 0 THEN display "Even"

Else display "Odd"

End

Algorithm 3: Calculate the Average of 3 Numbers

Start

Take three numbers as input

Add the three numbers

Divide the sum by 3

Display the result as the average


End
