H15 - (Year 5 to Year 12) Cracking the pseudocode: Teaching algorithms from a student perspective
(Year 5 To Year 12)
Session Description
Boost your content knowledge and confidence in teaching algorithms and pseudocode! Experience different research-informed strategies and activities to teach algorithms from a student perspective, building a solid toolkit to take into the maths classroom. In this session, we will: * Build content knowledge around algorithms in a maths context. * Link to the algorithms and pseudocode content in the Vic Curriculum 2.0 and in VCE Maths. * Experience multiple pedagogical approaches to teaching algorithms from a student perspective. * Explore the kinds of scenarios where each strategy would shine based on your context and students.
Key takeaways:
1. Solid content knowledge and confidence in using algorithms and pseudocode.
2. A toolkit of research-informed pedagogical approaches and strategies for teaching algorithms.
3. Understanding of how algorithmic thinking develops through the Vic Curriculum 2.0 levels and into pseudocode in VCE.
Remember: Please bring a laptop that can connect to the internet, we will check out some websites that offer blockcoding options.
