In this math worksheet, students examine the concepts of algorithms and pseudocodes. Then they use the codes on a computer to execute the algorithms.

The lesson is real—even if the computer code isn't. Scholars learn about pseudocode, which simulates computer code using everyday language. They write pseudocode for simple actions, then have classmates guess the action from the written...

Explore the difference between stochastic and deterministic modeling through programming. First have the class write algorithms for relatively simple tasks using pseudocode. Use the Python 2.7 program app to simulate Mendel's Pea Pod...

Learners write a computer program that can receive two numbers and allows the user to decide to add, subtract, or multiply them together. Once solved, they discuss the sample solution using a case construct. Students discover when it is...

Look at it go. The resource, the third in a series of five using a Roomba, explains the different types of movements a Roomba makes, then challenges pupils to create computer codes that will cause the Roomba to travel specific paths.

Young programmers investigate the Single Source Shortest Path problem by working in paris to devise their own algorithm. They then progress to using Dijkstra's Algorithm to solve the problem. 

Math language? Set notation is used in mathematics to communicate a process and that the same process can be represented as computer code. The concept to the loop in computer code models the approach pupils take when creating a solution...

Scholars use a playing card activity to help them develop a program to find the minimum value of a list. They learn to use for loops to write code that will process lists. 

In this math worksheet, students practice analyzing root finding algorithms, Newton-Raphson and secant. They use the examples to master the concepts.

An in-depth discussion of the algorithm design language known as pseudocode.

Explanation and examples of pseudocode.

Since AP CS Principles is taught with a variety of programming languages, the AP CSP exam questions use a pseudocode that represents fundamental programming concepts. This overview will help with the basic understanding.
