GCSE 9-1 Computer Science: Searching Algorithms

GCSE 9-1 Computer Science: Sorting & Searching Algorithms

This bundle includes both my comprehensive Sorting and Searching Algorithms units of work. Within **Sorting Algorithms**, your students will learn how to: * Understand different methods of sorting data within an array: - Bubble sort - Merge sort * Explain how both methods work. * Identify advantages and disadvantages of using both techniques. Within **Searching Algorithms**, your students will learn to: * To understand different methods of searching data within an array: - Linear search - Binary search * Explain how both methods work. * To identify advantages and disadvantages of using both techniques. Students will learn about how both sorting and searching techniques work through clearly presented explanations, pseudocode, diagrams and animations. Students will develop and consolidate their understanding through a range of tasks and activities including the creation of algorithms using Python. **Recommended prior learning:** KS4 Algorithm Design (Sequencing, Selection & Iteration): https://www.tes.com/teaching-resource/gcse-9-1-computer-science-ks4-algorithm-design-12044669 Data Types: https://www.tes.com/teaching-resource/gcse-9-1-computer-science-algorithm-design-data-types-12047021 Arrays: https://www.tes.com/teaching-resource/gcse-9-1-computer-science-algorithm-design-arrays-12044694 Subroutines: https://www.tes.com/teaching-resource/gcse-9-1-computer-science-algorithm-design-subroutines-12047070
