Standard Identifier: 9-12.IC.25
Content Area: Computer Science
Grade Range: 9–12
Concept: Impacts of Computing
Subconcept: Culture
Practice(s): Recognizing and Defining Computational Problems (3.1)

Standard:
Demonstrate ways a given algorithm applies to problems across disciplines.

Descriptive Statement:
Students identify how a given algorithm can be applied to real-world problems in different disciplines. For example, students could demonstrate how a randomization algorithm can be used to select participants for a clinical medical trial or to select a flash card to display on a vocabulary quiz.
