Conditional Logic -if Statements: Programming in Java Course Lesson 6
By Howlin' Husky Math Games
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? 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 is part 6 of an introductory Programming in Java course. These lessons are meant to be done over a few days; the idea is to get students doing cool stuff as fast as possible. With Java, that is NOT an easy task.
Topics:
Programming in Java 6: Conditional Logic- if Statements
How to make and use an if
the else statements
the else if statement
nested if and compound logic
pseudocode and logic errors
All lessons will come with the following:
a pdf slideshow
a pacing guide with hints for teaching the section and common student
errors
an assignment, differentiated with three different levels!
an answer key in pdf form
an answer key in .java form
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.
Welcome to the world of programming! It's going to be a blast!

This project utilizes research skills, MS Word, and Sketchup (free CAD software download) to allow students to build skills in those programs along with skills in Internet research, reading, writing and critical thinking. In these projects, students research information about the history of skyscrapers, designs and changes to those designs over time, and the physics behind them. They create a scale model drawing of an existing skyscraper using Sketchup (CAD) and then design their own. Next, they brainstorm with their team to determine the best design to build from provided materials. Finally, they reflect on their learning and the dynamics of their team to complete the project. The project was created for grades 7-8 but could easily be adapted for younger or older students.
