This unit focuses on introducing conditionals. Learning in this unit will allow students to:

• Define circumstances when certain parts of a program should run and when they shouldn't.
• Determine whether a conditional is met based on criteria.
• Translate spoken language conditional statements into a program.
• Distinguish between loops that repeat a fixed number of times and loops that repeat as long as a condition is true.
• Build programs with the understanding of multiple strategies to implement conditionals.

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