Year 1, Lesson 1

Does it guess?

Some machines do the same thing every time. Some make guesses, and those use AI.

The signature activity

The Mystery Bag: everyday objects come out one at a time and the class decides "same every time" or "makes a guess".

Learning intentions

  • I can say what a guess is.
  • I can sort machines into "same every time" and "makes a guess".
  • I can join in when the IDEAL sign pops up.

The slides

Teacher notes and answers sit in the speaker notes of every slide, and printable resources are at the end of the deck.
