From Computer Science Wiki

What are we going to learn today?[edit]

  1. we are going to test your understanding of simple math and loops in python. The loop part will be tricky.
  2. Everyone will be required to submit an answer to a question on our class wiki, and hopefully start coding.

What are some higher order thinking questions we will use to solicit explanations and help you to justify your explanations?[edit]

  1. how do you most efficiently sort through a data set to find the most frequently occurring number in a list?

How will you develop a more sophisticated understanding of the concept?[edit]

  1. We will start with a video https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=k3aKKasOmIw
  2. We will then hack through mean, media and mode in Python. Mean, median, mode and other statistical functions
  3. We will then work on our design project

How will you demonstrate that you have achieved the lesson objective?[edit]

  1. Students will receive a formative assessment for their problem set work. Please click here to see how you will be graded

What is your homework and when is it due[edit]

  1. We must work on our design project. Everyone is required to respond to Mr. MacKenty's feedback on the discussion page for your project. This homework is due at the start of our next class.
