Welcome to the official update log for Goldie’s AP Computer Science Principles curriculum. As I continue to enhance and expand the resources, lesson plans, and projects available, you can stay up-to-date with the latest additions right here.
With each monthly update, you’ll find detailed overviews of all the improvements and new content that will make your statistics lessons more engaging and effective.
You can get these updates a few different ways:

September 2024 Updates
9/9 – New Programs Added to Python Lessons 3, 4, & 5
For each of the lessons in Python on Functions, Lists, and Loops, I created a brand new programming assignment. In each programming assignment, I have 3 mini programs, which are designed to have students code smaller programs in the IDE, practicing their newly acquired knowledge. Each mini-program also comes with a series of reflection questions, to help students practice answering questions about their code – a critical skill they need for the AP exam!

For problem #5 on this homework assignment, I translated the hexadecimal number to decimal, but forgot to finish the problem and translate the decimal number to binary! The work for this problem has been fixed, and the answer key has been updated.
