Computers_as_Problem_Solving_Tools for computer
- 1. ALGORITHMS
- 2. WHAT IS AN ALGORITHM? An algorithm is like a recipe that tells you the steps to follow to solve a problem or do something. Just like how a recipe tells you how to bake a cake in steps, an algorithm tells a computer (or person) how to solve a problem step by step.
- 3. EXAMPLES OF ALGORITHMS IN REAL LIFE 1) Making a Sandwich: Take two slices of bread. Spread butter on one slice. Put cheese or vegetables between the slices. Close the sandwich and eat.
- 4. IN COMPUTERS When we give a computer a task, we write an algorithm to help it know what to do. For example, if you want a computer to help you add two numbers: Get the first number. Get the second number. Add them together. Show the result.
- 5. COMPUTERS AS PROBLEM- SOLVING TOOLS
- 6. LESSON OBJECTIVES By the end of this lesson, students will: • Understand how computers help solve problems. • Learn the steps involved in problem-solving. • Identify real-world scenarios where computers are used as tools.
- 7. INTRODUCTION TO PROBLEM SOLVING What is Problem Solving? • Problem-solving is finding solutions to challenges. • Computers follow steps to solve problems more efficiently than humans.
- 8. HOW COMPUTERS HELP SOLVE PROBLEMS Ways computers are used for problem-solving: • Organizing large amounts of data. • Running simulations and models. • Automating repetitive tasks. • Solving complex mathematical problems.
- 9. REAL-LIFE EXAMPLES Examples of Computers Solving Problems: Medical diagnoses using AI. • Navigation using GPS systems. • Climate modeling and weather prediction. • Robots used in manufacturing industries.
- 10. CLASS ACTIVITY Activity: Solving a Problem with a Computer 1. Divide into small groups. 2. Each group chooses a real-world problem. 3. Brainstorm how a computer could be used to solve it. 4. Present your ideas to the class.
