| Lesson 1: What is a computing Device |
| LEARNER NOTES | CAPS 2025 Aligned | Foundation Phase Coding & Robotics |
 🔁 RECAP — Previous Lesson
In Grade 1 we learned what a computing device is and named examples. Now in Grade 2 we go deeper |
 |
“Welcome back, Code Explorer! You already know what a computing device is. Today we discover the SECRET of how it works: INPUT to OUTPUT. Every device follows this rule!”
Today you will learn: 1. Explain what a computing device is 2. Describe input and output using a real example 3. Name 3 computing devices and state one input and one output for each |
| 📖 KEY VOCABULARY |
| Input Information or instructions going INTO a device (e.g. pressing a button, speaking) |
| OUTPUT What the device produces or does AFTER receiving input (e.g. sound, picture, movement) |
| Process What happens INSIDE the device – it follows instructions to turn input into output |
| 🧠 KNOWLEDGE — What You Learn |
| Section 1: WHAT IS A COMPUTER RECAP |
1. WHAT IS A COMPUTER?
A computer is a machine that helps us do tasks. It can think a little by following instructions and
then show us results. Computers can be big or small, and they help us learn, play, and talk to people.
2. TYPES OF COMPUTERS
There are different types of computers such as:
| SECTION 2: HOW A COMPUTING DEVICE WORKS |
1.INPUTS VS OUTPUTS
2.HOW A COMPUTING DEVICE WORKS?
A computing device receives input, follows instructions, and produces output.
