Who is the JS Array Methods poster for?
JS Array Methods belongs to the Computing section rather than to a school year, because computing is not something one grade owns. Anyone learning languages can pin it up — a beginner, a student mid-course, or someone revising years later.
When should you use the JS Array Methods poster?
Check the mutates column before chaining. Half of these change the array in place. A wall chart earns its place by being glanceable from where the work is happening, so JS Array Methods belongs on the wall where that computing work actually happens, within glancing distance, rather than filed away.
What other posters go with JS Array Methods?
REST API Design, Bash Scripting and Error Handling sit alongside JS Array Methods in the Computing section. Printed together they make a wall rather than a single sheet, which is how a reference set actually gets used.REST API DesignBash ScriptingError Handling

What size does the JS Array Methods poster print at?
JS Array Methods is a vector PDF laid out for US Letter, and prints on A4 with Fit to page — the same file, no separate download. Because every mark on it is drawn rather than photographed, it stays sharp enlarged to A3, A2 or A1 at a copy shop. Colour carries emphasis only, so a greyscale print of JS Array Methods loses nothing.Printing guide
