ASCE UVAWISE

The purpose of this group is to share resources created through the three-year Region VII Computer Science STARS: Supporting Teachers Application, Recognition, and Skills for Computer Science Education grant. This project is designed to build and expand upon regional expertise in Computer Science to aid in the implementation of the Virginia Department of Education’s Computer Science Standards of Learning. The grant will offer multiple opportunities for professional development in Computer Science including several targeted workshops, conferences, and coursework to PK-12 teachers from across Region VII.

Program a Friend

(View Complete Item Description)

Lesson Plan for CS 7th grade. OBJECTIVES 1. At the end of this lesson students will be able to create and execute an algorithm that “programs” a partner to move from point A to point B, avoiding obstacles . 2. Students will plan independently and collaboratively to create a program 3. Students will share their pseudocode in Google Classroom or print completed pseudo code. 4. If time allows, students will begin to code their programs using a text based programming language.

This is a lesson that integrates programming in Python or Scratch into 3rd grade math. The focus of this lesson is on polygons.SOL's:Math 3.12The student will a) define polygon; b) identify and name polygons with 10 or fewer sides; and c) combine and subdivide polygons with three or four sides and name the resulting polygon(s).CS 3.2  3.2  The student will construct programs to accomplish tasks as a means of creative expression using a block- or text-based programming language, both independently and collaboratively a. using sequencing; b. using loops (a wide variety of patterns such as repeating patterns or growing patterns); and c. identifying events.

Sorting by Attributes

(View Complete Item Description)

After teaching about sorting objects, students will need some independent practice. In the classroom, students are often able to sort objects physically, but when they are learning online, they may need to do it by a computer program for the sake of teacher assessment. This Google slide deck has three attributes (shape, color, and size) for students to sort the pictures. It also contains some questions about sorting for discussion, whether students are in class or at home.
