ACARA 7-8 Digital Technologies: Tracing algorithms and finding errors
Students follow algorithms and flowcharts step by step, use tracking and trace tables to predict output, and work out purpose, find and fix mistakes and test with chosen inputs.
One content description (AC9TDI8P06) from the full ACARA Digital Technologies Years 7–8 — Algorithms, Flowcharts and Pseudocode journey. All 9 modules below are in that journey too, with the same content — add just these to a class, or the whole strand.
