Challenge #1: Time to create your own function with parameters! Using the next slide

● Create a function envelope. Put the name of the function on the envelope.

● Write your function. It can be written in pseudocode. Describe how to draw a simple house on graph paper.
○ Think about the parameters. How could your function be used to draw different types or sizes of houses? Give each parameter a
unique name.(like tiers and flavor from the makeCake example)
○ You can have as many parameters as you want. When the parameter is referenced in the function, put a box around it to draw
attention.
○ Put the function inside the envelope.

● Turn to the front of the envelope. Put boxes on the envelope for each parameter and put the name of the parameter in the box.

● Choose arguments for each parameter. Write them on small sticky notes and stick them in the correct boxes on the envelope.

● Share your slides with a partner. The partner will draw the house following the instructions in the function, using the parameters.

● Once they’ve finished, check to see if the drawing is as expected.

● Choose new arguments. Replace the old ones on the envelope with the new ones and “call” the function again by passing it to a partner.
The partner then draws the new house. Copy and paste slide 3 then update the arguments on the new slide.

Challenge #2: Create a cost calculator function for building the house you created a function for earlier. Use the next slide

● Create a function envelope. Put the name of the function on the envelope.

● Write your function. It can be written in pseudocode. Create a cost calculator.

○ Think about the parameters. How would these impact the cost?
○ Add a return at the end of your function that returns the total cost.

● Turn to the front of the envelope. Put boxes on the envelope for each parameter and put the name of the parameter in the box.

● Choose arguments for each parameter. Write them on small sticky notes and stick them in the correct boxes on the envelope.

● Share your slides with a partner. The partner will calculate the cost of building the house using the parameters.

● Once they’ve finished, the partner should pass back or return a sticky note with the value of the total cost.

● Then choose new arguments. Replace the old ones on the envelope with the new ones and “call” the function again by passing it to a
partner. The partner will now run the calculations again and complete the return. Partners should check to see if the return value is
correct! Copy and paste slide 7 then update the arguments on the new slide.
