Watch this silly sandwich. Butter on the outside, bread last… oh no! Why did that go wrong?
What do you think we need to get right when we do steps?
Today's word: algorithm. That means a set of steps in the right order that tell you how to do something.
Say it with me: an algorithm is steps in the right order.
Look at the four sandwich picture cards. Which one should come first?
Watch how we put them in order, then say the steps with me.
Now it is your turn to be the one who gets the order right. Your group will clear a space on the floor first, and then each group gets the same sandwich picture cards you have just watched.
Lay the four pictures on the floor in the order that would really make a sandwich, and then say the four steps out loud together, so your group can hear whether the order sounds right.
