• Variable assignment using = as distinct from mathematical equality
• Sequential state change across multiple assignment statements
• Deterministic branch selection in if/elif/else

• For-loop accumulator pattern
• While-loop termination conditions and the infinite-loop error
• Selecting the appropriate control structure (sequence/selection/iteration) for an unfamiliar problem specification
• An original program integrating conditionals and loops, checked against its own predicted trace
• The distinction between syntax errors and logic errors in a program with correct underlying algorithmic intent

Every lesson is written for a parent with no teaching background: it 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 you may copy for your household. Scripture references are King James Version throughout. Black-and-white, 8.5 x 11 in. The whole year of this course is also in this store as a single book.
