What are we going to learn today?[edit]
Hello Class!
Today in class we will focus on:
- The purpose of the CPU
- The Von Neumann architecture
- Common CPU components and their function
- I can outline the architecture of the central processing unit (CPU) and the functions of the arithmetic logic unit (ALU) and the control unit (CU) and the registers within the CPU
- I can describe primary memory
- I can explain the use of cache memory
- I can explain the machine instruction cycle
- I can identify the need for persistent storage

What is our home learning?[edit]
You should review the material we discussed today:

How am I being assessed today?[edit]
I will assess you formatively today, and make a professional judgement to what extent you understand our learning material. I will use observation, your written work, answers to questions, and contribution to class discussions as data to make my decisions. I normally record my observations in a "evidence of learning" spreadsheet, which I will happily share with you privately if you so wish. I usually need a day or two notice.

As a computer scientist, you have:[edit]
- Confidence in dealing with complexity
- Persistence in working with difficult problems
- Tolerance for ambiguity
- The ability to deal with open-ended problems
- The ability to communicate and work with others to achieve a common goal or solution
