Algorithms and Computational Thinking

This topic covers the definition and characteristics of algorithms, simple algorithm writing, and the application of computational thinking skills such as decomposition and pattern recognition. Aligned with CBC outcomes, it enables learners to break down problems and design step-by-step solutions using flowcharts and pseudocode. Mastery supports ECZ exam performance in problem-solving sections and builds a strong foundation for programming, a core component of the Zambian secondary Computer Science syllabus.
