Synopsis
This detailed guide explores the historical development of algorithms and how they are used as a way of teaching computers to work through problems. Named for Persian mathematician Muhammad ibn Musa al-Khwarizmi, modern algorithms and functions make programing more efficient. Algorithms are simplified for readers using words, flowcharts, and pseudo code to build a beginning understanding of algorithms and how they are used in our modern, computerized world. Young coders and STEM students are sure to strengthen their technical skills with an in-depth and fun exploration of this essential coding topic.

Reviews
Gr 4–7—New volumes in this fine series (previously titled "Kids Can Code") introduce tweens to analytical thinking and programming concepts of Boolean Logic, "if-then" conditionals, task completion modules, algorithm flowcharts, syntax (commands), and much more. The narrative is kid-friendly, connecting to already familiar concepts such as board game strategy. Titles show diverse groups of young people working with technology as well as images of coding, puzzles to solve, and short bios of notable techies. Bold vocabulary is explained in context and in the glossary. VERDICT Consider to inspire upper elementary and middle schoolers to start speaking and thinking like future digital designers.
