AP Computer Science A - Writing Classes Lab (Java)
This lab covers the topic of Writing Classes. I usually do this after we have covered decision statements, loops, and basic class usage. This lab contains 4 problems, each of which requires the student to create a full class. These are not quite like any of the traditional examples presented in a typical AP CS A course. In this, and all labs posted on TPT, the questions are of my own making, and any similarity to codes/assignments/homework found anywhere else is by chance. Java code / instructor

AP Computer Science A - Using Objects Lab (Java)
This lab covers the topic "Using Objects". This is typically done as a second chapter in AP CS A, where students learn how to use Strings, the math class, and access existing objects. For the most part, student are not asked to create classes. There are four problems in this assignment, two of which require students to import and interpret a given class which they have never seen before.

Experience
I was an associate professor of mathematics and computer science for 13 years at a small university before moving to my current position as a high school teacher at an independent high school.
Teaching style
For the past five to six years, I have incorporated puzzle-style activities into my mathematics curriculum. My belief is that fostering students' analytical thinking is crucial, and I have observed that these puzzles provide an enjoyable challenge for them. In fact, some students view these puzzles as a rewarding experience after completing the mathematical components of our lessons.
In my computer science courses, I often have the privilege of teaching exceptional students. To accommodate a range of abilities, I design labs and projects that are achievable for the average student, occasionally with some guidance. However, these assignments are structured with enough complexity to ensure that even my most advanced students do not find them trivial and remain engaged.
My own education history
I have an BS, MS, and PhD in mathematics with an emphasis on computational mathematics.
