                     1.  Nisha, a chef, decides to create a new recipe for a chocolate cake. To remember the
                        recipe, she carefully outlines the recipe with precise instructions on mixing ingredients
                        and baking temperatures. Which strategy of problem solving is she following?

                        photosynthesis. But she is unable to decide which symbol she should use to show the
                        direction in which the process flows. Help her identify the symbol by writing the name of
                        the symbol.

                 Guess! Who am I?

                     1.  I am a step-by-step process used to solve a problem or complete a task.
                     2.  I am a visual representation of an algorithm.
                     3.  I am the starting point of a flowchart, and I’m usually represented by an oval.
                     4.  I represent an action or operation in a flowchart.
                     5.  I am a type of control structure that repeat a set of instructions.
                     6.  I am a symbol represent decision making in an algorithm.

                   1.   Write an algorithm to accept the length and breadth of a rectangle from the user and
                       display its area and perimeter.
                   2.   Write an algorithm input age of 3 different persons from the user, find and display age
                       of the oldest and the youngest among them.

                   3.   Draw a flowchart to input Marks of a student and display ‘Scholarship Granted’ if Marks
                       >=80 otherwise display ‘More efforts needed’.
                   4.  Write an algorithm to display the even numbers from 2 to 10.



                 Teachers' Turf

                 1.  Discuss the concept of algorithms with the students.
                 2.  Explain the importance of flowcharts in the programming to the students.
