1) Create a function to simplify a task.

Example: Get a writing utensil, get paper, jot notes can collectively be named "note taking".

Unpacked Content
Evidence Of Student Attainment:
Students will:
  • summarize a collection of steps or algorithms as one function.
Knowledge:
Students know:
  • an algorithm is the set of commands to complete a task.
Skills:
Students are able to:
  • combine several algorithms or tasks as a named function.
Understanding:
Students understand that:
  • it is more efficient to label an activity or program as a function than to list all of the individual steps or algorithms that make up the function or activity.
