5 – Round and Round

🎯 Learning Objectives

Develop the Programming and Development, Algorithms Learning Strands:

  • Use iteration (while loops) to control the flow of program execution
  • Use variables as counters in iterative programs
💬 Key Vocabulary
  • Iteration
  • selection
  • conditions
  • counting
  • execution
  • walk-through

🔎 Round and Round

Last lesson, you…

  • Explore how selection can handle more than two possible branches
  • Use iteration (while statements) to allow the flow of program execution to include loops

In this lesson, you will…

  • Use iteration (while statements) to allow the flow of program execution to include loops
  • Use variables as counters

📝 Activity 1 – Count

 Question

  • What will this extended program display when it is executed?
  • Use your worksheet to answer.
  • Then, move on to the rest of the tasks.

📝 Activity 2 – Times Table

Practice Example
  • Start from the program above using the repl.it below.
  • Complete the tasks in your worksheet to build a more complete times tables practice game.

In this lesson, you…

  • Used iteration (while statements) to allow the flow of program execution to include loops
  • Used variables as counters

Next lesson, you will…

  • Apply what you’ve learnt and use iteration even more!
  • Take a quiz, to assess what you’ve learnt
