Content descriptor create and use algorithms involving a sequence of steps and decisions that use rules to generate sets of numbers; identify, interpret and explain emerging patterns

Elaborations

• • Elaboration using an algorithm to create extended number sequences involving rational numbers, using a rule and digital tools, explaining any emerging patterns
• • Elaboration designing an algorithm to model operations, using the concept of input and output, describing and explaining relationships and any emerging patterns; for example, using function machines to model operations and recognising and comparing additive and multiplicative relationships
• • Elaboration designing an algorithm or writing a simple program to generate a sequence of numbers based on the user’s input and a chosen operation, discussing any emerging patterns; for example, generating a sequence of numbers and comparing how quickly the sequences are growing in comparison to each other using the rule adding 2 to the input number compared to multiplying the input number by 2
