The Computing Progression Pathways suggests that at the pink level, on the theme of algorithms, a student should demonstrate that he/she:

• Understands what an algorithm is and is able to express simple linear (non-branching) algorithms symbolically. (Algorithmic Thinking)
• Understands that computers need precise instructions. (Algorithmic Thinking)
• Demonstrates care and precision to avoid errors. (Algorithmic Thinking)

The following link to cs4fn articles that illustrate Algorithms – Pink Level.

• Like a computer, our brain uses ‘rules’ to help us understand the world.

  Computers follow rules – so do our brains [cs4fn-pdf]
