Check your understanding of expressing simple algorithms in flow charts, natural language, and pseudocode, in this set of free practice questions designed for AP Computer Science Principles students.

Practice using the building blocks of algorithms (sequencing, insertion, and selection), in this set of free practice questions designed for AP Computer Science Principles students.

This site provides students practice with the concept of multiplication algorithms. Students can learn about the topic by completing an interactive tutorial. Students can then take a ten question timed test to practice the skill.

The lesson plan, with objectives, lesson outline, and interactive resources, helps students learn about algorithms using box plots and Venn diagrams.

A textbook chapter with an in-depth discussion of the analysis of algorithm efficiency, presented as a collection of slides.

In this lesson, students learn how to measure the complexity of the function or algorithm in a math problem and understand how this applies to real world situations.

In computational thinking, patterns in the world can be abstracted into functions. Students learn to develop algorithms into functions so that they can better understand and utilize the laws of our world.

Graph coloring is widely used. Unfortunately, there is no efficient algorithm available for coloring a graph with a minimum number of colors as the problem is a known NP-Complete problem. There are approximate algorithms to solve the...

Practice measuring the efficiency of an algorithm both by counting steps and tracking time.

Discusses how to measure the efficiency of an algorithm.

The use of formal reasoning to determine if an algorithm is correct.

Short tutorial that breaks down simple division step by step using the standard algorithm where you divide, multiply, and subtract, then repeat. Includes sample problems to try.

Challenge question: can you work out the equations for n-degree curves generated by de Casteljau's algorithm?

An analysis of the breadth-first search algorithm and its uses is presented.

Get a visual and animated definition of what an algorithm is from LearnAlberta.ca's Mathematics Glossary.

Practice verifying whether algorithms are correct with empirical analysis and logical reasoning, in this set of free practice questions designed for AP Computer Science Principles students.

In this fascinating talk, Kevin Slavin argues that we're living in a world controlled by algorithms which determine: espionage tactics, stock prices, movie scripts, and architecture. He warns us that we are writing code we can no longer...

Learn about two sorting algorithms: selection sort and insertion sort.

A Wikipedia description of an algorithm.

This site contains a paper (in PDF format) that describes some ways in which efficiency analysis may be performed on algorithms.
