Guided Notes

These are the guided notes that I use in my classroom to teach the concepts of AP Computer Science A (using the Java programming language). This .zip folder contains:

• The Word version of the student guided notes
• The PowerPoints of the guided notes (answers included)
• The PDF version of the guided notes
• The PDF of the answer key for the student guided notes
• VIDEO links to me teaching each lesson (free on YouTube)

AP CSA Standards:

The following AP® CSA CED Standards are covered in each lesson. Note that the material is cumulative, so the standard is just the focus but it uses past information as well.

Lesson 1: One-Dimensional Arrays

• VAR-2.A Represent collections of related primitive or object reference data using one dimensional (1D) array objects.

Lesson 2: Searching Algorithm for ARrays

• VAR-2.B Traverse the elements in a 1D array

Lesson 3: Common Algorithms for Arrays

• CON-2.I For algorithms in the context of a particular specification that requires the use of array traversals: a. Identify standard algorithms. b. Modify standard algorithms. c. Develop an algorithm.

Lesson 4: The Enhanced For Loop

• VAR-2.C Traverse the elements in a 1D array object using an enhanced for loop

Lesson 5: Arrays of Objects

• VAR-2.A Represent collections of related primitive or object reference data using one dimensional (1D) array objects.
