Jambot algorithms

Last week our teacher Mrs Morris had become a 'jambot'. She had turned into a robot and could not seem to be able to make a jam sandwich. She needed instructions to help her make it.

The class were very helpful and wrote a set of instructions (known as algorithms). Some remembered to use arrows or number the instructions so the teacher know what order to do the instructions in. But did they give their instructions with enough detail? Did they tell the jambot what hand to use?

This week, they had the sandwich ingredients, and followed their instructions to check and see if they would work.
Luckily the algorithms were fairly detailed, and every group managed to make a jam sandwich, with some deciding to eat it too!!
