Suggestions/Tips:

This lesson will introduce the students to the concept of "loops".

This lesson is very similar to the previous lesson (lesson 8) and will build off of it's concepts. Like lesson 8, it is suggested that you follow this lesson plan closely when teaching.


Corresponding QuizIt Questions:

The following questions are the same questions students will see when they log into QuizIt at the end of the lesson. Because each lesson is taught over a two day period, there are two questions on QuizIt that correspond to this lesson.

These questions are shown here as a "teacher-check" to ensure that the material asked in the question has been covered in the lesson. Please do not go over the answer to this question during the lesson. We want to see if the students can apply what they learned in class to answer this question.
