Code IT Primary Programming Series Basic computer coding is now among the most important skills a child can have for their future. There are many programming languages designed specifically for children to begin their studies, but the Scratch programming language, already recognised in schools around the world, is widely considered as the ideal place to begin programming in early education. The highly successful Code-It series is a comprehensive guide to teaching Scratch to children in a classroom setting. It is designed for the UK-based KS2 curriculum but can easily be used to supplement other programming courses for children between the ages of 7 and 11. There are four pupil workbooks designed to work in conjunction with the Code-It teacher handbook. They provide structure and resources for the children, including optional homework activities to extend to learning outside the classroom. Workbook 4 explains how to think, program and debug exciting programming projects such as Times Tables Game, Perimeter, Clock, Cartesian Coordinates, Translation, Enlargement & Rotation, Primary Games Maker, Tilt Switch and Chat Bot. It also outlines how to use analytical computational thinking skills of algorithm design, algorithm evaluation, decomposition and generalisation; extend resilience and problem solving through the computational doing skills of converting algorithm into code and debugging; develop pupils' knowledge of sequence, repetition, selection and variable use; and program Lego models using Lego Wedo and Scratch.

Who is this book written for? This book is aimed at KS2 (grade 2-5 in US) primary (elementary) teachers and secondary teachers who use Scratch to teach programming. Why was it written? To introduce a range of research supported programming methodology that works in the classroom in a way that non-specialist teachers can put it into action in their own classrooms. To share the joy and creativity of block-based programming through knowledge that leads to greater progress and higher pupil agency. Does it include a scheme of work? There are four companion books to this which include fully resourced research informed modules to use with primary / elementary classes. Scratch IT- Teaching Primary Programming in Year 3 Scratch IT- Teaching Primary Programming in Year 4 Scratch IT- Teaching Primary Programming in Year 4 Scratch IT- Teaching Primary Programming in Year 6 Is This Book Still Useful If You Choose Other Resources To Teach? Yes, research-informed methods are always useful in improving the knowledge you choose to teach, the order or progression you choose to teach it in and the methodologies and support strategies you choose to use. This book is written to aid the scheme but also includes many other strategies and methodologies that you might find useful that are not fully utilised in the scheme.

Teach yourself to code with Exciting Projects Key Features Book shows how Scratch platform can be useful in not just getting started on programming, but also in brain development and logic building. Book covers the entire Scratch programming with a lot of examples from different areas. Strengthens the foundations, as detailed explanation of programming language concepts are given. Lists down all the important points that you need to know related to various topics in an organized manner. Prepares you for coding related interview and theoretical questions. Provides In depth explanation of complex topics and Questions. Description Software development is a two-step process:1. Solve the problem logically, and2. Translate the logic into syntax of a programming language.First step is very helpful in developing our logical capacity. The second step is about remembering the language syntax and knowing its use.A good artisan should be adroit in using his tools. But it is his creative thinking, and not the usage of his tools, that makes him a good artisan. Similarly, a good coder should know how to use a programming language, but his problem-solving abilities and logical capacity makes him a good programmer.In most advanced programming languages, you first go thru the tiring installations, acclimatize yourself with nuances of the IDE and remember complex syntaxes, before you can write your first program. Many students lose their interest in software development because of this infrastructure work and never experience the magic Scratch programming, on the other hand, has a bare-minimum syntax and is very easy to start. This book is an attempt to enhance our logical abilities using Scratch as a tool. What will you learn Understand what is Scratch, who should use it, what all can be done with Scratch. Create and execute your first scratch project. To play sounds and to make your actors dance in a project Programming tool to simulate decision making. Who this book is for K12 students should read it to enhance their brain-power. Parent should read it to help your children. Teachers should read it to develop educational aids. Student of computer science should pick this book to learn about all programming constructs, and also get introduced to many computer science concepts like Multi-threading. It is a small book, but there is something for everyone in this book Table of Contents 1. The Environment 2. My First Project-Events and Motions 3. Scratching more- Sounds & Costumes 4. Branching 5. Looping 6. Having my Own Data 7. Scratch For Logic Building 8. A Sneak peek into Scratch 3.0 About the Author Kamal Rawat is a software developer, trainer, author and an entrepreneur.

The Portable, Extensible Toolkit for Scientific Computation (PETSc) is an open-source library of advanced data structures and methods for solving linear and nonlinear equations and for managing discretizations. This book uses these modern numerical tools to demonstrate how to solve nonlinear partial differential equations (PDEs) in parallel. It starts from key mathematical concepts, such as Krylov space methods, preconditioning, multigrid, and Newton’s method. In PETSc these components are composed at run time into fast solvers. Discretizations are introduced from the beginning, with an emphasis on finite difference and finite element methodologies. The example C programs of the first 12 chapters, listed on the inside front cover, solve (mostly) elliptic and parabolic PDE problems. Discretization leads to large, sparse, and generally nonlinear systems of algebraic equations. For such problems, mathematical solver concepts are explained and illustrated through the examples, with sufficient context to speed further development. PETSc for Partial Differential Equations addresses both discretizations and fast solvers for PDEs, emphasizing practice more than theory. Well-structured examples lead to run-time choices that result in high solver performance and parallel scalability. The last two chapters build on the reader’s understanding of fast solver concepts when applying the Firedrake Python finite element solver library. This textbook, the first to cover PETSc programming for nonlinear PDEs, provides an on-ramp for graduate students and researchers to a major area of high-performance computing for science and engineering. It is suitable as a supplement for courses in scientific computing or numerical methods for differential equations.
