Bundle: Programming in Java Course- Intro to Java to Looping

Hello and welcome!

Are you math teacher and have been thrown into teaching a computer science course? Now you have NO IDEA where to start! Have you taught computer science, but want to try something else? Are you teaching AP Computer Science A and need materials? Math and computer science are related, but are not the same!

I have your back. I've been teaching math and computer science, including APCSP, APCSA, and Data Structures for almost two decades. I also teach an introduction course. This is part of the course I made up for my intro students. I have a BS in computer science and know what students need to know.

This bundle covers from "your first Java program" to looping. This is a HEFTY marking period (About 3 months) worth of materials. Inside this bundle you'll find:

Topics:

Programming in Java 0: Introduction to Java

Programming in Java 1: Variables and Types

Programming in Java 2: The Scanner Class

Programming in Java 3: The Random and Math Classes

Programming in Java 4: The String and DecimalFormat Classes

Programming in Java 5: Drawing Shapes

Programming in Java 6: If Statements

Programming in Java 7: Looping Statements

All lessons will come with the following:

a pdf slideshow - Can be teacher or student driven!

an assignment - differentiated with three different levels! - Almost 100 total

exercises!

a pacing guide with hints for teaching the section and common student
errors

an answer key in pdf form - For a quick check

an answer key in .java form - Runnable out of the box.

This bundle is packed with activities. You can pick and choose the ones you like or have students do their best to reach the "Hacker" level. The bundle covers up to Unit 3 on the AP Computer Science A exam; a perfect addition!

Depending on your style, you could go over the slides as a group, then let students play around. Or you could just give them the slides and assignment and let them go.

Let students explore and make mistakes. Let them talk to each other and discuss their approaches. Programming takes a lot of trial and error and collaboration.

Great for asynchronous learning and homeschooling! Could be used as a self- taught course or go at your own pace! Everything for learning is included!

Welcome to the world of programming! It's going to be a blast!
