Crazy Characters - : Understanding Algorithms

This document provides instructions for understanding algorithms through creating and improving algorithms to draw "Crazy Characters." It begins by defining an algorithm as a list of instructions or rules to make something happen or work out a problem. It then guides the reader in writing algorithms to draw characters, having a partner try the algorithm, and revising the algorithm based on the results. The overall goal is to learn about algorithms through a creative drawing activity.

Crazy Characters -
Understanding algorithms

1
Today we are learning about…

Algorithms
• I can say what an algorithm is

• I can write an algorithm

• I can use an algorithm

• I can improve my algorithm

2
Now listen very carefully and follow my algorithm

Is yours the same as your partner’s?

Let’s look at my algorithm

3
How to draw a fluffy algorithm…
Draw a circle for the body

Add 2 eyes
What is an
Add a crown
algorithm?
Add wings

Add four legs

4
An algorithm is a list of instructions, or rules,
that make something happen or work something out

Alligator algorithm, step, step, step,


She’s very, very bossy,
But she gets things done.
How to draw a character,
How to play a game,
Alligator algorithm 1,2,3!

5
Let’s make a class Crazy Character…

6
Now it’s your turn:
1) Think of a character

2) Write each step of your algorithm

3) When you have done all your steps get a friend to try it

4) Was it what you expected?

5) Change your algorithm to improve it

6) Get another friend to try it

7) What did you find out?
