  abstract =     "Introductory computer science courses often present
                 the concept of algorithm efficiency in a rather late
                 stage, through searching and sorting problems. We
                 believe that the concept of efficiency can be presented
                 much earlier. In this paper we present a novel approach
                 in which efficiency of algorithms is presented early,
                 gradually and intuitively. We link our approach to
                 cognitive consequences of programming instruction and
                 illustrate it with three problems. We implemented our
                 approach with 10th and 11th grade high-school students.
                 In the paper, we describe our experience with posing
                 the three problems to the students. Student solutions
                 varied considerably, reflecting different levels of
                 insight into the problems. The various solutions led to
                 fruitful class discussions, thus widening the students'
                 repertoire of templates, and enhancing student
                 realization as to the importance of analysis and
                 planning.",
