EV3 - Pseudocode

Submitted by deborah steele on 31 March, 2014 - 08:54

Have students work through the EV3 Trainer videos describing Breaking Down Problems and Iterative Design:

Big Ideas > 4-5

  • 4. Break Down Problems and Build Up Solutions

  Final Challenge > Resources

  • 2. Iterative Design

Use the EV3 Trainer Teacher's Guide reference on  page  119 to introduce the concept of Pseudocode to students (Note: This resource is only available from the purchased version EV3 Trainer).

Use the attached Pseudocode Sheet Example to show students how this tool may be used to approach a complex task. The attached Pseudocode Sheet is an hardcopy blank for students to use, while Pseudocode Template is an electronic form for students to use.
