1. Following instructions

Build secure Key Stage 1 understanding of following instructions in Computing.

A common misconception is treating following instructions in Computing as a memorised label instead of a usable idea with evidence.

Validation: Generated starter-map content for MVP breadth. It is structurally complete but still requires subject-expert review before production claims.

Starter concept map Pending expert review Prerequisite: Core vocabulary for following instructions Extension: Extend toward simple algorithms once following instructions is transferable.

Stage progression

Repair foundation: First-stage foundation - Use concrete observation, talk and play evidence before formalising following instructions.

Later outcome: Key Stage 2 Computing - Stretch following instructions toward Key Stage 2 Computing once evidence is transferable.

Representative problem: Complete one short Computing task using following instructions and explain one step.

Mastery signal: Explains following instructions in their own words
