CPU jigsaw
This activity allows students to construct a paper CPU using “jigsaw” pieces. They can also add notes to their jigsaw explaining the function of each component. Carrying out this activity allows students to relate sub components of the CPU to one another. For example, they will appreciate that level 1 cache memory is closer to the Arithmetic Logic Unit and registers than level 2 cache and that Random Access Memory is situated even further away.
