View Syllabus Overview
Shapes and The Pythagorean Theorem
Description

In this lesson, students will get an overview of the project and start learning about basic calculations and print functions in Python.

Objective

Students will be able to…

  • Define the goal of the project.
  • Describe what Python is and where it is used.
  • Write basic print() functions.
  • Concatenate strings in the print() function.
  • Write basic math calculations.
Description

In this lesson, students learn about Python variables and how to use them effectively in their programs.

Objective

Students will be able to…

  • Define what a variable is.
  • Use different types of variables in their programs.
Description

In this lesson, students calculate the length of the hypotenuse of a right triangle using the Pythagorean theorem. Using variables and the sqrt() method imported from the math module, students create a Python program that calculates the hypotenuse for any given right triangle.

Objective

Students will be able to?

  • use the Pythagorean theorem to find side lengths of right triangles.
  • import the Python math module and use its method for mathematical tasks
Description

In this lesson, students learn how to get input from the user using the input() function. By default, the input from the user is read as a string. Students will convert input values into a numerical data type (e.g. int) to perform arithmetic operations and then convert calculations into a string in order to print the results.

Objective

Students will be able to?

  • get input from the user using the input() function
  • convert input values into the appropriate data type using the int() or float() functions.
