CC BY-NC-SA
Rating
0.0 stars

In this lesson we will build on students' understanding variables by making functions that reduce the number of inputs required. These 'fast functions' allow students to practice using the Design Recipe to develop simple functions without the additional overhead of parsing a word problem.

CS In Algebra 1.8: The Design Recipe
Conditional Remix & Share Permitted
CC BY-NC-SA
Rating
0.0 stars

In the last stage, students wrote some very simple functions - but more sophisticated functions demand a more thoughtful approach. The Design Recipe is a structured approach to writing functions that includes writing a purpose statement and test cases to ensure that the function works as expected. Once students have mastered the Design Recipe process, they can apply it to any word problem they encounter.

CS In Algebra 2.10: Collision Detection and the Pythagorean Theorem
Conditional Remix & Share Permitted
CC BY-NC-SA
Rating
0.0 stars

Determining when objects on the screen touch is an important aspect of most games. In this lesson we'll look at how the Pythagorean Theorem and the Distance Formula can be used to measure the distance between two points on the plane, and then decide whether those two points (or game characters) are touching.

CS In Algebra 2.10: Video Games and Coordinate Planes
Conditional Remix & Share Permitted
CC BY-NC-SA
Rating
0.0 stars

Students discuss the components of their favorite video games and discover that they can be reduced to a series of coordinates. They then explore coordinates in Cartesian space, identifying the coordinates for the characters in a game at various points in time. Once they are comfortable with coordinates, they brainstorm their own games and create sample coordinate lists for different points in time in their own game.

Conditional Remix & Share Permitted
CC BY-NC-SA
Rating
0.0 stars

To finish up their video games, students will apply what they have learned in the last few stages to write the final missing functions. We'll start by using booleans to check whether keys were pressed in order to move the player sprite, then move on to applying the Pythagorean Theorem to determine when sprites are touching.

Using the same logic from the previous lesson, students will write code that checks whether their Target and Danger sprites have left the screen. If their function determines that a sprite is no longer visible on screen, it will be reset to the opposite side.

CS In Algebra 2.8: Conditionals and Piecewise Functions
Conditional Remix & Share Permitted
CC BY-NC-SA
Rating
0.0 stars

Currently, even when passing parameters to functions, our outputs follow a very rigid pattern. Now, suppose we want parameters with some values to create outputs using one pattern, but other values to use a different pattern. This is where conditionals are needed. In this stage students will learn how conditional statements can create more flexible programs.

CS Principles 2019-2020 1.10: Routers and Redundancy
Conditional Remix & Share Permitted
CC BY-NC-SA
Rating
0.0 stars

In this lesson students explore the benefits (and potential security concerns) associated with routing traffic across the Internet. Building on their introduction to IP addresses in the previous lesson, students use a version of the Internet Simulator that allows messages to be sent only to an intended recipient, as indicated by the IP address. The Internet Simulator also allows students to examine the traffic that goes through all of the (simulated) routers on the network. They will discover that messages go through many different routers, may not always take the same path to reach the final destination, and that the routers (and their owners) can *see all of this traffic*!
