AC9TDI2P02 Year 1 Technologies

This Content Descriptor from Year 1 Technologies provides the specific knowledge and skills students should learn. Use it to plan lessons, create learning sequences, and design assessments that align with the Australian Curriculum v9.

follow and describe algorithms involving a sequence of steps, branching (decisions) and iteration (repetition)

Elaborations

• 1 following a short, ordered sequence of steps and making decisions to solve a simple problem, for example follow a recipe or directions to reach a location
• 2 describing the steps and decisions (in the correct order) needed to solve a simple problem, for example writing, saying, drawing or photographing the steps needed to make a sandwich
• 3 rearranging into the correct order a series of mixed-up pictures that describe a story, for example stories authored and published by First Nations Australians
• 4 identifying the steps needed to solve a problem, and understanding when their order is important, for example socks must be put on before shoes but a jumper can be put on before or after shoes
• 5 identifying the decisions needed to solve a problem and the next steps to follow in each case, for example if it is raining, take a raincoat, otherwise take a hat
• 6 following algorithms that repeat a single step a fixed number of times, for example practise spelling a word 5 times or throw and catch a ball with a partner 10 times
