Description

Teach students how to follow and decompose algorithms with these Build a Monster digital activities. 2 types of digital activities ask students to follow an algorithm to put a Monster together and then look at a pre-built Monster and type their own algorithm for it.

Use these activities as a lesson on understanding what an algorithm is, how to write one, follow one, and decompose one. I even included printable posters and vocabulary cards.
