Hello and welcome!
Are you math teacher and have been thrown into teaching a computer science course? Now you have NO IDEA where to start! Have you taught computer science, but want to try something else? Are you teaching AP Computer Science A and need materials? Math and computer science are related, but are not the same!
I have your back. I've been teaching math and computer science, including APCSP, APCSA, and Data Structures for almost two decades. I also teach an introduction course. This is part of the course I made up for my intro students. I have a BS in computer science and know what students need to know.
This bundle is HUGE! It has more than you can cover in one year in a programming course. It starts with the very basic "Hello World" program, goes through loops and logic, to classes with an optional lesson on arrays. This first semester is equivalent to a college level programming course.
The course then takes a fun turn into using the JSwing package and forms in Java.
To top off the course, it ends with game creation. It teaches students how to use Listeners, Timers, and create their own Sprites. This is an out of the box experience that students will love.
All lessons will come with the following:
a pdf slideshow - Can be teacher or student driven!
an assignment - differentiated with three different levels!
a pacing guide with hints for teaching the section and common student
errors
an answer key in pdf form - For a quick check
an answer key in .java form - Runnable out of the box.
You can pick and choose the ones you like or have students do their best to reach the "Hacker" level. This will last about a mark period and can be extended easily!
Depending on your style, you could go over the slides as a group, then let students play around. Or you could just give them the slides and assignment and let them go.
Let students explore and make mistakes. Let them talk to each other and discuss their approaches. Programming takes a lot of trial and error and collaboration.
Great for asynchronous learning and homeschooling! Could be used as a self- taught course or go at your own pace! Everything for learning is included!
Welcome to the world of programming! It's going to be a blast!

Looking for a fun and engaging way to teach Java programming? Look no further than "How'd You Make That!? Java Programming Labs: Pong! Designed with increasing levels of difficulty, this lab helps students develop their coding skills step-by-step. Students will create the classic game of Pong!
In Bounce Beginner, students will use the code provided to create the game. Much of the background coding has been done for them so they will be concentrating on creating and using objects and designing the game. To complete this level students need to understand how to use methods and create objects. If you are following my year long curriculum, students should be about to Java 7: Looping Statements.
At the Paddle Pupil level, students will fill in some provided classes and create their own versions. Some of the lowest level code has been done for them, but they will write most of the game with a skeleton. To complete this level students need to understand anything from the Bounce Beginner level in addition to how to create objects and pass parameters. If you are following my year long curriculum, students should be about to Java 10: Advanced Techniques
At the Court Champion level, students will create the game from scratch. This requires them to understand Timers, collision, and how use graphics. Students will be given general direction, but creating the game will mostly be up to them. To complete this level students need to understand anything from the Paddle Pupil level in addition to Timers, collision, and basic use of the extends keyword. If you are following my year long curriculum, students should be about to Java 18: Collision Detection

(This is LEVEL 3 of the series) These cards bring to life Scratch, a visually captivating computer programming language created by none other than MIT. Every student should have a taste of programming, and as math teachers, we hold the key to open this amazing door. Computer programming is the ultimate fusion of math and logic, and brace yourself... it's also fun!
Prepare to witness a spark of interest in your students! For many of them, the vast world of coding remains an enigma, with no clue where to begin. And let's face it, not all schools offer a comprehensive computer science curriculum. But fear not! These task cards act as a stepping stone, paving the way for their journey into the realms of Java, Python, JavaScript, C#, and more!
