follow and create algorithms involving a sequence of steps and decisions that use addition or multiplication to generate sets of numbers; identify and describe any emerging patterns
These quizzes practise concepts within this topic. Multiple-choice answers alone do not demonstrate drawing, conducting an investigation or using a digital tool.
Activities to practise beyond the quiz
- Learners follow, recognise and debug supplied algorithms; they do not independently create an algorithm in this multiple-choice profile.
- Learners recognise supplied pattern descriptions; independently written or spoken descriptions are not assessed by answer selection.

- VC2M4N10-C02Create number-generating algorithms.
- VC2M4N10-C03Use algorithms containing a sequence of steps.
- VC2M4N10-C04Use algorithms containing decisions.
- VC2M4N10-C05Use addition in algorithms to generate sets of numbers.
