LAC 28:CIV.905. Modularity

A. Grade Band: K-5. By the end of fifth grade, students will: 1. Define and apply decomposition to a complex problem in order to create smaller subproblems that can be solved through step-by-step instructions. 2. Modify, remix, or incorporate parts of an existing problem’s solution to develop something new or add more advanced features to a program. B. Grade Band: 6-8. By the end of eighth grade, students will: 1. Decompose problems to facilitate program design, implementation, and review. 2. Create procedures with parameters to organize code and promote reusability. C. Grade Band: 9-12. By the end of twelfth grade, students will: 1. Decompose problems into smaller components using constructs such as procedures, modules, and/or objects. 2. Create computational artifacts using procedures within a program, combinations of data and procedures, or independent but interrelated programs.
