GROUP DISCUSSION                                                                      Communication



                     Organise a group discussion on the topic reasoning and problem solving.

                      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
                    •  Encourage the students to do stepwise thinking by giving them simple tasks and guide them
                       whenever needed.
                    •  Explain them the importance of reasoning and problem solving and also discuss the concept of
                       programming with them.
