Concept: Algorithms & Programming
Subconcept: Variables
Practice(s): Developing and Using Abstractions (4.4)

Standard:
Model the way programs store data.

Descriptive Statement:
Information in the real world can be represented in computer programs. Students model the digital storage of data by transforming real-world information into symbolic representations that include text, numbers, and images. For example, after identifying symbols on a map and explaining what they represent in the real world, students could create their own symbols and corresponding legend to represent items on a map of their classroom (HSS.K.4.3, 1.2.3, 2.2.2) Alternatively, students could invent symbols to represent beat and/or pitch. Students could then modify symbols within the notation and explain how the musical phrase changes. (VAPA Music K.1.1, 1.1.1, 2.1.1, 2.2.2)
