Sam says, “At the end of our street we turn left into Lincoln Road. Lincoln Road is very long. It goes all the way into the town centre. That’s where the shops are.”What is the next step in the algorithm for getting to school?

Turn left at the end of the street

Go all the way to the town centre

Sam says, “We pass the Methodist church on our left. Then we cross the road at the zebra crossing.”What is the next step in the algorithm?

Turn left into the Methodist church

Go as far as the Methodist church

Go as far as the zebra crossing and cross the road

Sam says, “After the zebra crossing, we carry on walking along Lincoln Road. Some days my friend Luke and his Mum catch up with us.”Which one of these will you write down next in your algorithm?

Keep walking along the same road

Sam says, “We get to the corner of Lincoln Road and Chester Grove. We turn right into Chester Grove. There is a shop on the corner. It sells sweets and drinks. On Fridays, Mum lets me buy some sweets at the shop.”What will you write down next?

Go to the corner with Chester Grove and turn right

The school is further along Chester Grove. It is on the right. What is the next step in the algorithm?

Walk along Chester Grove as far as the school

What is the final step in this algorithm?

Go through the doors into the school

Quiz FAQ

How should I use this KS1 Computing Algorithms - How to Make an Algorithm 1 Quiz?

Complete the quiz once under normal timing, review every mistake, then return to the Computing subject page to try a related quiz while the topic is still fresh.

What should I do after finishing this KS1 Computing Algorithms - How to Make an Algorithm 1 Quiz?

Use your score as a signal. If the result is strong, move to another Computing quiz for wider coverage. If the result is weak, repeat practice in the same subject before switching topics.

Is KS1 Computing Algorithms - How to Make an Algorithm 1 Quiz enough on its own for Computing revision?

One quiz is useful for diagnosis, but not enough on its own. The strongest approach is to combine this page with other quizzes in Computing, plus broader revision or past-paper style practice where available.
