An algorithm is a set of step-by-step instructions given to a computer to
execute a particular task. We cannot change the order of an algorithm because
a computer can function properly only by following a fixed order of steps.
For example:
If your teacher says, “All the students who were born in December, stand up.”
Then all the children who were born in December will stand up.
We can write this as:
If (Born in December)
Stand Up
Now suppose your teacher says, “All the students who like computers, raise your
hands.”
How can you write this in the form of an algorithm?

FOR THE TEACHER
1. Encourage the students to do stepwise thinking by giving them simple tasks and guiding them
whenever needed.
2. Explain them the importance of reasoning and problem solving and also discuss the concept of
programming with them.
