Today we began working with Boolean operators, a new concept that ties in nicely with our earlier work on Venn diagrams, sets/subsets and programming.

Isabel defined Boolean operators as “a way of constructing your research question and finding the connections between your research terms. also connection between words and phrases.”

Almost everyone knew the 3 most useful operators: AND, OR, NOT

We solidified our learning with a Boolean worksheet that made all of our brains hurt and then discussed our answers.

Next week we will use Boolean operators  to refine search engine requests and also to build a simple program in Scratch.
