Learning objectives

  • Recognise applying algorithms accurately in computer science contexts.
  • Explain the underlying rule of applying algorithms in the student's own words.
  • Apply applying algorithms to multi-step and unfamiliar problems.
  • Justify a chosen method and identify errors in another student's work.

Skills assessed

  • Fluency and recall
  • Method and setting out
  • Reasoning and justification
  • Problem solving in context
  • Self-assessment

Instructions

  1. Write your name, your teacher's name and the date in the header.
  2. Answer every question in the space provided. Continue on the back if needed.
  3. Show all working — method marks are awarded even when the final answer is wrong.
  4. Aim to finish in about 30 minutes.
  5. Complete the reflection box at the end before you hand the sheet in.
