NOTES: (1) This is an introductory basic class. We will practice writing words in cipher code. (2) The advanced class will practice writing phrases and sentences in cipher code. The first 5 to 10 minutes will be for students to introduce themselves. We will start with the QWERTY keyboard-based cipher (e.g., A=Q, B=W, C=E, D=R, E=T, and F=Y). Miss McKinney will guide students on how to write coded messages and how to decode messages. The teacher will demonstrate, then each student will be able to take a turn. If time permits and students are interested in learning other styles of cipher, here is a list of potential other cipher code methods: * Abash * Caesar Shift * Pig Latin * Pig Pen / Tic Tac Toe * Rail Fence * Clock * Dice * Custom (student creates their own)
Learning Goals
Students will practice using computational thinking when writing and decoding cipher coded words.Other Details
Supply List

I love Math and Programming! Finding ways to make learning fun and giving strategies to children so they can overcome the challenge of being successful in Math, Programming, and Science is my passion. I have a Bachelor of Science in Computer Information Systems, so I took college level finite math, algebra, and geometry in addition to learning BASIC, COBOL, JCL, Dyl-280, DB2, SQL, dbase+, Ada, Pascal, C+, PHP, HTML5, and JavaScript.

My work experience includes 5+ years as computer programmer, 10+ years in statistical data analysis as a Market Research Consultant, 10+ years as an ECE educator including math tutoring with K to 6th grade, 10+ years as private math tutor and Sylvan Instructor for 1st to 12th grade students, and tutoring young adults for math portion of SAT, GMAT, and GRE.Reviews
