Struggling to teach algorithms in a way that actually makes sense to students? In this video, I’ll show you a simple, practical strategy to help students move from flowcharts to Scratch code using the “one box, one block” method. It’s an easy bridge between planning and programming that cuts out the guesswork and gets students thinking logically. Perfect for upper primary (Year 5–6) and early secondary teachers, this tutorial helps you deliver digital technologies lessons with confidence. In this Scratch tutorial, you will learn: What is an algorithm? A simple explanation for the classroom. Flowchart to Code: How to translate visual logic into working Scratch programs. Computational Thinking: Strategies to avoid the “click and hope” approach. Step-by-Step Coding: A quick example you can take straight into your classroom tomorrow.
