Specific Objectives
- Students will able to understand the components of a flowchart and be able to create a simple flowchart with emphasis on using different shapes for various operations.
Teaching Aids
- Whiteboard and markers or a blackboard and chalk.
- Chart paper and markers.
- Individual sheets of paper and pencils for each student.
Introduction (2 minutes):
- Start by asking students if they have heard of flowcharts and if they know their purpose.
- Briefly explain that flowcharts are visual representations of processes or algorithms.
- A flowchart is a type of diagram that represents a workflow or process.
- A flowchart can also be defined as a diagrammatic representation of an algorithm, a step-by-step approach to solving a task.
- The flowchart shows the steps as boxes of various kinds, and their order by connecting the boxes with arrows.
Basic Components (2 minutes):
- Introduce the basic components of a flowchart:
- Oval: Represents the start or end of a process.
- Rectangle: Represents a process or task.
- Diamond: Represents a decision point (yes/no question).
- Parallelogram: Represents input or output operations.
- Arrow: Represents the flow or direction of the process.
Activity - Creating a Simple Flowchart (3 minutes):
- Choose a simple process (e.g., Calculate area of rectangle) and draw a flowchart on the whiteboard, incorporating all the components.
- Encourage students to ask questions and discuss the purpose of each shape.
- Have students practice drawing the flowchart on their individual sheets, focusing on using the correct shapes for each component.
Hands-On Practice (2 minutes):
- Ask students to create a flowchart for a process of calculate volume of cube in copy.
- Emphasize the use of different shapes for different components.
- Walk around the class to provide assistance and guidance.
Conclusion (1 minute)
- Ask a few students to share their flowcharts with the class, pointing out the different components used.
- Summarize the key components: ovals for the start/end, rectangles for processes, diamonds for decisions, parallelograms for input/output, and arrows for the flow.
- Emphasize the importance of using flowcharts as a visual tool for understanding and planning processes.
Assessment
- Check the flowcharts from the students copy.
- Assess the flowcharts based on the correct use of components (ovals, rectangles, diamonds, parallelograms, and arrows) and the logical representation of the chosen process.
