When faced with "What does this code do?" or "How many times does this loop run?" types of questions, students try to picture a solution in their heads. But it's often more effective to put pencil to paper and do some hand-tracing.

At our recent PD Day, Lisa presented strategies that give students an easy path to success when tackling iterative and recursive methods.

Here's video of her session: 

You can find the resources from this session in a Coding Rooms course called "PD Day 2022," available in our Marketplace.
