9-12S.AP.17 (Computer Science)
Standard Identifier:
9-12S.AP.17
Content Area:
Computer Science
Grade Range:
9–12 Specialty
Concept:
Algorithms & Programming
Subconcept:
Modularity
Practice(s):
Developing and Using Abstractions, Creating Computational Artifacts (4.3, 5.2)
Standard:
Construct solutions to problems using student-created components, such as procedures, modules, and/or objects.
Descriptive Statement:
Programmers often address complex tasks through design and decomposition using procedures and/or modules. In object-oriented programming languages, classes can support this decomposition. Students create a computational artifact that solves a problem through use of procedures, modules, and/or objects. This problem should be of sufficient complexity to benefit from decomposition and/or use of objects. For example, students could write a flashcard program in which each card is able to show both the question and answer and record user history. Alternatively, students could create a simulation of an ecosystem in which sprites carry out behaviors, such as consuming resources.
