The Basic Data Structures unit of the AP Computer Science Principles course originally covered both Lists/Arrays as well as Grids. Since Lists/Arrays are part of the curriculum requirements for the AP CS Principles course, and Grids are not, we have decided to move the Grid lessons into the Supplemental Materials for the AP CSP course.

The following lessons have been moved into Supplemental Materials:

  • Intro to Grids
  • Looping Over a Grid
  • Grid Example: Get a Row

These lessons are still available to be taught in your AP Computer Science class, but they are no longer part of the main curriculum. You can find the Supplemental Materials at the bottom of your course page, after the Final Project unit.

The Supplemental Materials can be found at the bottom of your course, after the Final Project unit. Simply click on the green arrow to view all the supplemental units.

The Supplemental Materials are great for providing struggling students with extra practice on topics from the main course, as well as providing advanced students with extra lessons and projects.

The Grid lessons can be found in the “More Basic Data Structures” supplemental unit. The unit introduces several new data structures, including Sets, Maps/Objects, and Grids, as well as a data structures project and summative quiz!
