Python Iteration L5 - Introduction to while loops

From Scratch to Python - While Loops (Iteration) Lesson 5
This series of lessons will prepare all students, particularly in KS3 to develop their computational thinking skills, which is required for most KS4 qualification. It is also aimed at students aiming to sit GCSE computer science, and will support, provide a thorough and secure understanding of loops, particularly condition controlled while loop. There is adequate practise at applying skills. Starter plenary and homework activities included. This lesson is aimed at all abilities, although lower ability may require more time to process content or additional lessons to complete all tasks. Lesson objectives are extracted from the new computing curriculum in England for KS2 and KS3. Although this lesson can be taught as stand alone, students who have already used algorithms in scratch series and from scratch to python will benefit from continuity and familiarity of keywords and exercises. Students will need knowledge of how to use input and output function with knowledge of variables in python. Or alternatively purchase introduction to python - from scratch to python series. They will also need the python IDLE environment which is available to download free at https://www.python.org/downloads/release/python-350/.
