60-second Quick Read

  • design, test and refine algorithms involving a sequence of steps and decisions based on geometric constructions and theorems; discuss and evaluate refinements
  • Example: creating an algorithm using pseudocode or flow charts to apply the triangle inequality, or an algorithm to generate Pythagorean triples
  • Common trap: creating and testing algorithms designed to construct or bisect angles, using pseudocode or flow charts
