Logo programming - creating algorithms
Understand and create algorithms for drawing shapes
Logo is a simple computer programming language which can be used to control devices. For example, a robotic pen can be moved using a series of instructions or commands to create a drawing. There are many commands which can be used to control the pen. Storing a series of commands like this creates a simple program. The order of the commands in a program is vital. If it is in the wrong order, the program will not work as expected.
