Algorithms and sequencing

Design and write programs that accomplish specific goals; sequence precise step-by-step instructions.

CSTA K-12 Computer Science Standards≈ OVERLAPS
1B-AP-10 — Sequencing, loops, and conditionals
CSTA 1B-AP-10 bundles sequencing + loops + conditionals into one standard; UK names them separately.

Repetition (loops)

Use repetition in programs; replace repeated instructions with a loop.

CSTA K-12 Computer Science Standards≈ OVERLAPS
1B-AP-10 — Sequencing, loops, and conditionals
Loops are one part of the bundled CSTA 1B-AP-10 standard.
Australia ACARA≡ EQUIVALENT
AC9TDI6P09 — Algorithms with sequence, branching, iteration
Both treat count- and condition-controlled iteration explicitly at this band.

Selection (conditionals)

Use selection (if / then) so a program responds differently in different cases.
