Algorithms, variables, and conditions are at the center of this Grade 6 Computer Science worksheet, giving students focused practice with how a step-by-step plan solves a problem, how variables store information, and how conditional logic changes an outcome.

From steps to decisions

The worksheet moves beyond memorizing vocabulary by asking students to work with the ideas that make simple algorithms function. Students identify the role of ordered steps, explain what a variable stores, and reason about how a condition can send an algorithm toward different results. The mix of reading, selected-response, diagram, and written tasks gives teachers several ways to see whether students can recognize these concepts and explain them in their own words.

What students work through

Practice is varied without losing focus on the same core Computer Science ideas. Students encounter multiple-choice questions, true/false questions, short-answer responses, a dialogue task, matching, a cloze passage, a labeled diagram, a reading passage, and an essay. Together, these activities support both quick checks of terminology and deeper thinking about algorithms, variables, and decision-making logic.

The progression also makes it easier to notice where a student is getting stuck: following a sequence, recognizing stored information, or deciding what happens when a condition is met. That makes the worksheet useful for both practice and informal assessment.

Teacher support is included

A separate Teacher Guide PDF accompanies the worksheet. It includes learning objectives, teaching tips, discussion questions, and common mistakes, giving teachers a practical way to introduce the lesson, guide classroom conversation, and anticipate points that may confuse students.

Where it fits in your lesson

Use this Grade 6 algorithms worksheet after direct instruction, during guided or independent practice, as a review before a quiz, or as a structured homework task. The reading and dialogue components can also support whole-class discussion, while the short-answer, diagram, and essay tasks give students opportunities to explain their reasoning rather than only select an answer.

This resource is especially useful when you want one coherent Computer Science practice set that connects algorithm steps, variable storage, and conditional decisions instead of treating them as isolated terms. Because students see the concepts in several task formats, you can gather clearer evidence of whether they can identify the parts of an algorithm and apply conditional logic to choose different outcomes.
