Today we will analyze information to draw conclusions, match identical portions of similar phrases to match patterns, and identify differences in similar phrases to abstract them out.
Algorithm (review) - A list of steps that you can follow to finish a task
Decompose - Break a problem down into smaller pieces
Abstraction - Pulling out specific differences to make one solution work for multiple problems
Pattern Matching - Finding similarities between thing
Timer
200+199+198+...3+2+1
200+1= 201
199+2= 201
198+3= 201 ...
100+101 = 201
100 pairs, each equals 201... 100X201 = 20100
What is the algorithm?
200/2 X 200+1
blank/2 X blank + 1 or
N/2 X N+1 where N= the original number
Will it work with other numbers? Try it with 2, how about 4? What about 6?
N/2 X N+1
2/2 X 2+1 =
1 X 3 = 3
2+1 = 3
N/2 X N+1
4/2 X 4+1=
2 X 5 = 10
1+2+3+4 = 10
On a blank piece of paper copy these sentences and create an algorithm that would work for this game. To get started, circle things that are alike and underline differences. When you are finished, write an algorithm sentence that would work as instructions for the game.
I have two orange fish.
I have three orange cats.
I have two orange chairs.
