Sam and his Mum walk to school. What is the first step in the algorithm?

Sam says, “If it is wet I put up my hood. I talk to my Mum. We walk down our street. Mum laughs at my jokes.” What is the next step in the algorithm for getting to school?

Sam says, “At the end of our street we turn left into Lincoln Road. Lincoln Road is very long. It goes all the way into the town centre. That’s where the shops are.” What is the next step in the algorithm for getting to school?

Sam says, “We pass the Methodist church on our left. Then we cross the road at the zebra crossing.” What is the next step in the algorithm?

Sam says, “After the zebra crossing, we carry on walking along Lincoln Road. Some days my friend Luke and his Mum catch up with us.” Which one of these will you write down next in your algorithm?

Sam and his Mum then get to the main road. They cross the road. Sam presses the button and waits for the green man to light up before they cross the road. What is the next step in the algorithm?

Sam says, “We get to the corner of Lincoln Road and Chester Grove. We turn right into Chester Grove. There is a shop on the corner. It sells sweets and drinks. On Fridays, Mum lets me buy some sweets at the shop.” What will you write down next?

The school is further along Chester Grove. It is on the right. What is the next step in the algorithm?

The school is on Chester Grove. It is on the right. Sam and his Mum have reached the school gates. What now is the next step in the algorithm?

What is the final step in this algorithm?
