The aim of the learning unit is to explain the use of arrays to the students and to try them out.

CreatorJan Pawlowski, Martin Idzik
SubjectInformatics
Length45 minutes
Pedagogical ApproachExplorative learning
CompetencesStudents should understand:
How arrays are constructed
What operations are possible
What arrays can be used for
Data types, generalization
GradesElementary school, from grade 3
TechnologiesWorksheet:
Arrays 1 Worksheet,
Arrays 2 Worksheet,
Arrays 3 Worksheet,
Arrays 4 Worksheet

Contextualization: Examples are given when data can be stored in arrays (e.g. class representative election, weather data for one week)

Elaboration: Depending on the intensity, 3 worksheets, which contain increasing complexity, can be worked on. After each worksheet the solutions are compared

Reflection: It should be discussed for which data or problems arrays can be further used.
