This unit focuses on loops as a way to be more efficient. Learning in this unit will allow students to:

• Convert a series of multiple actions into a single loop.
• Break down a long sequence of instructions into the smallest repeatable sequence possible.
• Create a program for a given task which loops a sequence of commands.
• Identify the benefits of using a loop structure instead of manual repetition.

The content of this unit can be taught by implementing the standalone unit resources and reinforced by embedding the cross curricular activity.
