Real-life algorithms: paper airplanes
A lesson plan that takes the students through the algorithm to making a paper airplane. It consists mainly of a worksheet task to correctly sequence the steps in making a paper airplane, in doing so they must discard any superfluous information. The idea is then that they give their algorithm to another child for that child to follow in making an airplane.
