This resource focuses on the concept of trace tables, a valuable technique used to test algorithms for logical errors. It provides a detailed methodology for completing a trace table, which includes identifying variables, executing the algorithm step-by-step, recording value changes, and structuring iterations correctly. The document presents two specific problems: the Iterative Summer and the While-Loop Countdown, with detailed algorithm steps and tables for students to fill out. An answer key is included to guide grading, along with a rubric assessing variable tracking, condition evaluations, and final output accuracy. It also highlights common errors and points for partial credit to help students learn from their mistakes.
