First-Year Course in Grades 9 or 10
Broad
Concept: Engineering design involves practical problem solving, research,
development, and invention and requires designing, drawing, building,
testing and redesigning.
Learning Objective:
To understand how to create a generalized solution, an algorithm in order
to create a computer program.
To follow the flow of a program's execution
To parse into types each word in a line of code
To understand and code for loops
Learning Experience:
3 minute paper -
Students write 3 minute paper - How do method work? You can use the
example of methods like val() and str().
Students will first break into groups to brain storm. They will then
write their 3 minute papers.
Start class lecture
From the white board students will be asked to complete the
following pseudo-code:
Dim num1, num2 as Integer
num1 = 100 and num2 = 80
display num1 in statictext field 1 and num2 in statictext field
2
Have two students write the answer on the board while I walk around
the room checking answers
I will Introduce Loops by:(the missing link)
I will introduce the basic syntax, the
"for" keywords and put a simple example of a loop up on the board. Loops
Intro Lecture
Demo how to do the assignment and demo little animation
