    CT1 1.2.1 Learning outcomes Lesson slides
    1.2.3
     define the term 'program’
    1.2.5  identify types of programs used every Python IDE
    6.1.5 day (e.g. PyCharm,
    6.2.1  identify Python as a programming Thonny, IDLE,
    language etc.)
     access an integrated development
    environment
    Lesson
     load and run a Python program
    activities
     change a Python program
     save a Python program
     use arithmetic operators and BIDMAS
     layout code to be readable and
    maintainable
     correct errors in programs
     use variables in algorithms and
    programs.

    Lesson plan
     Explain that computers are deterministic
    – they only do as they are instructed.
    Explain that programs are used to give
    these instructions. Ask the students to
    think about programs they use regularly.
     What does a program look like? Explain
    that all programs are created by people
    using code. There are many ways to
    write code. Ask the students to name any
    programming languages they know.
     Explain that the class will be learning to
    program using the language Python 3.
    Introduce the Integrated Development
    Environment (IDE) you want the students
    to use – explain that there are different
    ones, but that they will be using the one
    that you have chosen. Explain that IDEs
    provide tools to help write programs.
    Demonstrate using the interpreter for
    your IDE. Ask students to complete
    Activities 1 and 2.

     Calculations: explain that the most


    common operation a person might want a
    computer to do is to perform a
    calculation.
     Review the list of arithmetic operators.
    Make sure you show the translation of
    the more familiar mathematical symbols
    (×, ÷, yx) to the language syntax. If you
    have time, demonstrate each one
    (particularly the less familiar ones %, //,
    **) and ask students to predict what each
    will produce.
     Explain that Python uses BIDMAS. Tie
    this concept to what the class has
    learned in mathematics. Ask students to
    complete Activity 3.
     Worked example: Surface of a cube.
    Point out the importance of using a
    sensible name to label information,
    explain that this is a ‘variable’.
     Explain that the simple calculation that
    students have performed (sideLength ×
    sideLength × 6) can be written as code in
    Python. Demonstrate this, if you have the
    time. Ask students to complete Activity 4.
    Allow plenty of time for this activity, as
    students are likely to make mistakes
    using their IDEs.

     Wrap up.
