Hi Chay,
Well the definition of an an algorithm is " the set of steps required to solve a problem" and mathematics generally uses numbers, the universal language, so there you have it
Kind regards

Hi,

Just throwing a question out there - if you are a math teacher as well (or familiar with it).

The math curriculum indicates that students are to design and implement algorithm using a general purpose language. Level of knowledge varies from Year 7 - 10.

I was wondering if there are any schools currently doing this in math classes?
Or is it specifically in Digiitech/Computing Classes.

If it is being implemented in Math class, may you please give me a run down on what is covered and 'done' for this part of the "already overcrowded math curriculum"?

Thanks.
