Paper Airplane Algorithm Activity

This document provides instructions for creating an algorithm to describe the steps of making a paper airplane. Students will cut out steps for constructing a paper airplane, arrange them in the proper order, and trade their algorithm with others so they can use the instructions to build an actual paper plane. The activity aims to demonstrate how algorithms can be used to explain everyday processes.

You can use algorithms to help describe things that people do every day. In this
activity, we will create an algorithm to help each other make paper airplanes.

Cut out the steps of making an airplane below. Glue the six the correct steps, in order,
onto a separate piece of paper. Trade your finished algorithm with another person or
group and let them use it to make an actual flying model paper plane!
