Introduction to Flowcharts:

 Definition: A flowchart, also known as a flow chart, is a diagram that represents a


process. It consists of blocks (usually rectangular) connected by arrows, with each block
containing information about a single step in the process. The arrows, or flowlines,
indicate the direction or "flow" of the steps in the process.

2. Learning Competencies:

 Learn to identify and discuss the basic symbols used in preparing charts, diagrams, layout
plans, and image structures using various productivity tools like Word Processing,
Spreadsheet, Presentation, and Graphics Software.

3. When to Use a Flowchart:

 To improve productivity in personal and work life by documenting processes, presenting


solutions, brainstorming ideas, designing systems, explaining decision-making processes,
and storing information.

4. Flowchart Symbols & Components:

 Ellipse: Indicates the start or end of a flowchart.


 Parallelogram: Used for input or output (e.g., reading data or printing results).
 Rectangle: Represents processing actions (e.g., calculations or operations).
 Diamond: Denotes decision-making steps requiring a yes/no answer.
 Arrows: Connect the steps and indicate the sequence or flow.

5. Flowchart Examples:

 Demonstrated with simple flowchart examples, such as finding the sum of two numbers
and decision-making processes like Marie Kondo's method for tidying up (asking if an
item sparks joy).

6. Exercises and Activities:

 Includes a crossword puzzle designed to reinforce the understanding of flowchart


symbols and their purposes. For example:
 A rectangle represents processing or operations.
 A diamond is used for decision-making steps.
 Arrows depict the sequence or flow between steps.

7. Application in Creative Technologies:

 Encourages learners to apply flowchart concepts in various creative and technological


contexts to streamline processes and enhance problem-solving skills.

This summary encapsulates the core concepts and activities presented in the documents
regarding flowcharts, providing a structured overview for educational or revision purposes.
