 Ks1 Algorithm Quiz 

Welcome to this wonderful and amazing ks1 algorithm quiz. This quiz is for ks1 year 1 and year 2 children studying computing. This quiz addresses specifically; algorithm basics, algorithm examples, flow charts, pseudo-code and analysis of simple algorithms. This quiz helps ks1 children easily figure how computer programs are being written from the instructions or procedures gotten from algorithms.

In general sense, an algorithm is simply a set of procedures or rules to solve a particular problem. For example, brushing your teeth is an algorithm.In the context of computing an example is, an algorithm that adds two integers by accepting input from a user.

Algorithms should possess the following characteristics :

  • Specific
  • Finite
  • Effective and
  • Accurate

Computer algorithms apply nowadays in computer programming, software development, machine learning and much more.

This quiz is very helpful in making ks1 children understand the basics of how computers work or how computers solve problems.

To conclude, the ks1 algorithm quiz helps children perform better in this lesson.

Happily Learning!
