Letters & Devotion Grade 10: Computer Science Principles: Computation, Data, and Society (Part 1)

Description

“Computer Science Principles: Computation, Data, and Society (Part 1)” (Grade 10, Units 1-4) is the first volume of the two-volume Letters & Devotion Grade 10 computer science course “Computer Science Principles: Computation, Data, and Society”, split into two physical books because the complete course runs longer than KDP’s page ceiling for this trim. This volume covers Units 1-4 (“Thinking Like a Computer: Algorithms Before Syntax” through “Abstraction in Code: Functions and Program Design”), running 306 pages across 39 lessons (Computer Science: 39 lessons), with 294 practice-sheet problems and 77 mastery/unit-check items built directly into the book, plus a full answer key at the back. Every lesson is written for a parent with no teaching background: each one opens with a short script to read aloud, names the specific wrong idea a student is likely to reach for and how to correct it, and closes with a practice sheet that may be copied for household use. Concept-first computer science; no specific programming language or device is required. This is a standalone, black-and-white, 306-page printable PDF at 8.5 x 11 in (print at home or at a copy shop); no login, subscription, or additional purchase is required to use it. The second volume, “Computer Science Principles: Computation, Data, and Society (Part 2)” (Grade 10, Units 5-8), completes the year; the two are sold and used independently. (The same lessons are also taught aloud by Clara, a built-in AI teacher, at lettersanddevotion.com, with the first 30 days free, for families who want that option; the print book stands on its own without it.)
