This document discusses algorithm design and classifications. It begins with an activity where students are divided into groups to identify classifications of algorithm implementation methods and design methods. Some key classifications discussed include greedy method, divide and conquer, dynamic programming, and backtracking. Implementation methods include recursion/iteration, exact/approximate, and serial/parallel/distributed algorithms. The document emphasizes that classifying algorithms helps with organization, problem solving, performance comparison, reusability, and research. It provides examples to illustrate different classifications. Students then complete an assignment to identify classifications and an evaluation through multiple choice questions.
