Everyday Algorithms

Recipes, routines and rules you already follow.

Topic sequence

Follow it in order. Each topic assumes the one before it.

01A Recipe Is a PlanbeginnerClass 3 to 5A recipe is a numbered list of steps in order. Mix them up and the cake might never bake. Good plans say one clear action per step.15 min 02Morning Routine OrderbeginnerClass 3 to 5Your morning is already a plan. Brush teeth before breakfast or after? Put the steps in an order that always gets you to school on time.15 min 03Pack a Bag PlanbeginnerClass 3 to 5Packing is a checklist algorithm. Heavy books go in first, fragile lunch on top. A good plan means you never forget homework on the kitchen table.15 min 04Draw a Shape Step by StepbeginnerClass 3 to 5Drawing a square is an algorithm too. Four lines, four turns, done. Change one step and you get a triangle or a mess.15 min 05Clean Your Room in StepsbeginnerClass 3 to 5A messy room feels huge until you split it into zones. Floor first, then desk, then bed. Small zones beat one vague step that says clean everything.15 min 06Fair Sharing StepsbeginnerClass 3 to 5Sharing fairly is an algorithm with rules. Deal one each, then another round, until the pile is gone. Compare plans so nobody gets shorted.15 min 07Game Rules Are AlgorithmsbeginnerClass 3 to 5Hopscotch, tag and card games all run on step lists. Read the rules, follow the order, check the win condition. Change a step and you change the game.15 min 08When Steps Are in the Wrong OrderbeginnerClass 3 to 5animated labPut on shoes before socks and something feels wrong. Open the plan-order lab, watch a plan fail, then drag steps until inputs come before outputs.15 min 09Plan My WeekbeginnerClass 3 to 5Capstone: stitch recipes, routines, packing and chores into one weekly plan. Each day gets ordered steps, and the week is the biggest algorithm yet.15 min
