Do you notice any similarities?
I noticed that ...
There were many temples in Rome and throughout the Roman Empire. They were generally built for a single god and had a statue of the god at the centre. The most important temple in Ancient Rome was the Temple of Jupiter located on Capitoline Hill. The Pantheon was a temple to all of the Roman gods.

1) Let’s refresh our memory. Watch this video about ‘What is an algorithm?’
An algorithm is a clear set of instructions to complete a task. A programme is a set of instructions a computer can understand. When we are writing an algorithm, we must think about how clear and easy are instructions are to follow.
We create and follow algorithms all the time. For example when traveling to the shop we follow directions or when baking a cake we follow a recipe.
