Standards Addressed

District Standards:

COMPUTER MATHEMATICS/
Business Technology BASIC PROGRAMMING 9-12

Curriculum Standard One: The student will demonstrate knowledge of programming concepts, syntax, logic, and appropriate structure for problem solving via programs where he/she is the author.

5. The student will explore and use various programming logic, structures,
and decision making methods in his/her solution to problems.
 

C. Can the student identify and use arrays
in his/her attempts to solve problems
through his/her programs?
 
The student will use second and third
level variables in designing programs
with at least a third plan.


D. Can the student identify and use string
manipulations in his/her attempts to
solve problems through his/her
programs?

string variables in appropriate places in
programs.
State Standards:

Business Education
Grades 11-12
Business Career Paths: Computer Science and Information Systems

Standard 3:  Students will understand sytems and programming concepts related to the science of computer operations.  They will apply these concepts in the development of computer systems and programs.

 
Examples of the types of work students shold be able to do to meet the standards:
  • Students create a structured program in at least one language utilizing control structures, procedures, functions, parameters, local variables, error recovery, and recursion.

    •   Instructional Objectives

    Students will:

    • be able to compare and contrast the similarities and differences between variables and arrays.
    • be able to visualize an array as a table of related information.
    • understand the similarities between a multi-dimensioned array and a spreadsheet.
    • will be able to use arrays in simple programs.
      • create an array by dimensioning it.
      • load an array using looping structures with both input statements and read-data statements.
      • print and/or view data from an array.
      • use 2 single dimensioned arrays of related information in a program.
