22  Learning New Algorithms

Laying the foundation for continued growth

Settling In

• Find others who picked the same algorithm as you and sit together. (We’ll move around later!)
• Check Slack for recent announcements and other posts

Small Group Discussion

Part 1: Share Findings

1. (15 minutes) Chat with other people who picked the same algorithm and compare notes.
   • What did you learn about how the algorithm works?
   • What was helpful as you were learning this algorithm? What was difficult or confusing?
   • What questions do you still have about how this algorithm works?

2. (20 minutes) Move to a new group with people who picked different algorithms.
   • Take turns (about 3-5 minutes each) sharing what you learned about the algorithm. Try to put yourself in the role of a teacher.
   • If you are a listener, take notes and put yourself in the role of a learner.
   • As a group share thoughts on the following: What was helpful as you were learning this algorithm? What was difficult or confusing?

Part 2: Reflection
