Planning your work with flowcharts
Flowcharts are an excellent tool for practicing Abstraction, and they can be a great
way to help students plan and structure their solutions.
A simple flowchart can be explored by students at any grade level, but more
complex charts should be reserved for students in the higher primary grades.
Some conventions exist in regard to flowcharts, but you should focus on
implementing these conventions only when your students completely understand
the concept of mapping their ideas.
These conventions are:
- Use a circle (or oval) to represent the beginning and end of the flow
- Use arrows to indicate the flow direction
- Use a rectangle to indicate an input or output
- Use a diamond to indicate conditions
