I have taught computer science (and related fields, like robotics) and physics for over 10 years in various settings, including science museums, private tutoring, and traditional classrooms.
This bundle includes three activities to help reinforce the concept and code covered in AP® CSA Unit 1 on Primitive Types. Each activity should take one 45-50 minute class period, or can be assigned as homework. These activities are a great supplement to your regular classwork and assignments. BONUS: Primitive Types Vocabulary, only available with the bundle! 38 terms and definitions, with a link to a Quizlet study set. Also included is a cheat sheet of newly introduced code, with examples. AP®
Empower your computer science students to find and fix the mistakes and errors in their code with this Debugging Guide for Students. Perfect for middle school or high school, this guide discusses exactly what bugs are and what causes them, how students can avoid bugs in their code, and strategies to identify and solve their most difficult programming errors. Students will benefit more from debugging their own code than from constantly receiving help with their errors. By using these strategies t
Give your students a convenient summary of all the content covered in AP CSA® Unit 1: Primitive Types in Java. This cheat sheet includes a description and examples for all new code introduced in this unit, organized by topic and learning objective. Each topic is on its own page, so they can be handed out as the topic is taught, or all at once. This is a great reference that students can use as they work on projects and assignments, or as a study aid before a quiz or test. AP® CSA standards cover
