Flowchart Cards

This printable flowchart card set includes key symbols used in creating digital flowcharts, such as Start, End, Steps and Loop. Designed to support algorithm and process-based thinking in middle primary classrooms, these cards are perfect for hands-on sequencing activities, visual planning and collaborative programming tasks. Students can cut and arrange the cards to create and test simple flowcharts before transferring them into a digital format.

Learning goals

  • We are learning to explore and describe a range of digital systems and their peripherals for different purposes.
  • We are learning to explore how to transmit different types of data between digital systems.
  • We are learning to recognise different types of data and how the same data can be represented differently depending on the purpose.
  • We are learning to define problems using design criteria and by co-creating user stories.
  • We are learning to follow and describe algorithms involving sequencing, comparison operators (branching) and iteration.
  • We are learning to generate, communicate and compare designs.
  • We are learning to implement simple algorithms as visual programs involving control structures and input.
  • We are learning to identify and explore a range of digital systems with peripheral devices for different purposes and transmit different types of data.
  • We are learning to collect, access and present different types of data using simple software to create information and solve problems.
  • We are learning to recognise different types of data and explore how the same data can be represented in different ways.
  • We are learning to define simple problems and describe and follow a sequence of steps and decisions (algorithms) needed to solve them.
  • We are learning to plan, create and communicate ideas and information independently and with others, applying agreed ethical and social protocols.
  • We are learning to implement simple digital solutions as visual programs with algorithms involving branching (decisions) and user input.
