ACARA 7-8 Digital Technologies: Following algorithms and trace tables
Students learn to follow an algorithm step by step, understand variables, input and output, and record each value in a trace table to predict the result.
One content description (AC9TDI8P06) from the full ACARA Digital Technologies Years 7–8 — Tracing and Debugging Algorithms journey. All 10 modules below are in that journey too, with the same content — add just these to a class, or the whole strand.
