###Teaching Tips from Byte Instructors
(Jeff) Use the Jisaw Classroom strategy. This will help students get to know eachother better on day 1 and help them get in a habit of reaching out to their classmates for help.
###In-Class Demonstration Ideas
Write the code snippet on the white board:
x = 0
for i in range(10):
x += 1
Get an empty bowl. Explain that x = 0 is declaring an empty storage container called x just like the bowl is an empty storage container. Explain that x += 1 is like adding items to the bowl. Have some small item, like m&m's, and add them to the bowl to demonstrate.
###Thought Questions
Why do we need variables? What would happen to our programs if we couldn't use variables. Specific example: How would we write a program that adds two numbers together if we didn't have access variables?
