Short Answer Questions

9. In the Graph Paper Programming lesson, students act as both programmers and robots. Explain what a "robot" does in this activity using the instructions given.

10. Why might writing out an algorithm in full sentences (instead of using symbols) become a problem when the picture is complicated?

11. Name two programming concepts that students review or learn about in Course D (based on the chapter titles or course description).

Answer Key

1. C) Third grade
2. C) 7
3. B) Graph Paper Programming
4. B) A list of steps to finish a task
5. B) An algorithm that has been coded into something that can be run by a machine

9. The "robot" follows the exact instructions given by the "programmer" (such as move right, move left, move up, move down, or fill in a square with color) without deviating, coloring in squares on a grid to recreate a picture step-by-step.

10. Writing out every instruction in full sentences takes a very long time and becomes hard to manage for complicated pictures — it could take dozens of lines of instructions, making it confusing and inefficient. Using symbols instead makes the instructions much shorter and easier to follow.

11. Any two of: sequencing, events, loops (including nested loops and while loops), conditionals, binary, digital citizenship, algorithms.
