          SEQUENCE OF STEPS

          Most activities have multiple steps that need to be carried out in order to perform
          a task involved. The order of steps for solving a problem is called Sequence of steps.

          Some  tasks  involve  a  fixed  sequence  of  steps.  For  example,  to  change  the  used
          battery in a clock, the sequence of steps to be performed is:

            1.  Remove the exhausted battery from the clock.
            2.  Take a fresh battery and install it in the clock.

            3.  Set the correct time on the clock.
            4.  Dispose the used battery carefully in the dustbin.

            You need to prepare for a Maths exam. The steps for the task are given below. Write
            numbers 1, 2, 3… in front of the steps to arrange them in the correct sequence to follow.

            • Practice as many problems by solving them on paper.                                      ________

            • Check the syllabus for the exam.                                                         ________
            • Collect your books and notebooks.                                                        ________
            • Revise key points and formulas again.                                                    ________

            • Go through the material related to the chapters coming in the exam.                      ________



          Some tasks have steps that can be carried out in different sequences but produce
          the same result.

          For example, to make a drawing of a robot, the sequence of steps to follow can be
          any one of the two given below:




                                                                                                             121
