Many things could be made into algorithms, for example, recipes or journeys. An algorithm is a list. It lists the steps you need to take to carry out a plan. It has to be in the correct order. Your daily trip to school is another good example.

Answer questions about an algorithm about 1. a journey to school. 2. making a pizza. 

Tip: Think of the steps you would need to each task.

20 Questions

1. Rhea’s Dad looks in the oven. He says that the pizza is ready. So he takes it out of the oven. Rhea and her Dad share the pizza. So Rhea cuts it in two.

Which one of these is the next step in the algorithm?
2. Rhea and her Dad are making a pizza. The ingredients for the base of the pizza are:

Flour
Yeast
Water

What is the first step in the algorithm?
3. After 15 minutes, Rhea spreads out the dough into a circle. Her pizza base is ready for the toppings.

What should Rhea write down now for her algorithm?
4. Matt says, “We get to the corner of Lincoln Road and Chester Grove. We turn right into Chester Grove. There is a shop on the corner. It sells candies and drinks. On Fridays, Mom lets me buy some candies at the shop.”

What will you write down next?
5. The school is further along Chester Grove. It is on the right. What is the next step in the algorithm?
6. Matt and his Mom walk to school. What is the first step in the algorithm?
7. And then?
8. What is the final step in this algorithm?
9. Rhea and her Dad are making a pizza. The ingredients for the base of the pizza are:

Flour
Yeast
Water

What is the first step in the algorithm?
10. What does Rhea do next?
11. Rhea has spread out the dough into a circle. What is the next step?
12. Rhea’s Dad says that the dough needs to be mixed really well.

What is the next step in the algorithm?
13. Rhea reads the recipe. It says, ‘Leave the dough to rest for 15 minutes.’ Rhea’s Dad says that the dough should be left in a warm place.

What is the next step in the algorithm?
14. What does Rhea do next?
15. What comes next?
16. Rhea has spread out the dough into a circle. What is the next step?
17. Matt and his Mom then get to the highway. They cross the road. Matt presses the button and waits for the green man to light up before they cross the road.

What is the next step in the algorithm?
18. Matt and his Mom walk to school. What is the first step in the algorithm?
19. Rhea’s Dad says that the dough needs to be mixed really well.

What is the next step in the algorithm?
20. And then?
