Take a giant step towards regaining control over your workload and teach Python programming with confidence. These ready to use Python lessons will save you hours of planning by providing you with comprehensive, engaging content you can use in your classes with next to no preparation. This bundle provides attractive dyslexia-friendly PowerPoint presentations, videos to teach key skills and plenty of opportunities for students to practise their Python programming skills. You will also get easy to follow teacher’s guides including ALL THE ANSWERS! These 20 lessons are suitable for teaching pupils about the joys of Python programming, from the very basics to confidently writing and using subprograms and writing to and reading from external files. It even includes a fun interactive computational thinking escape room game to introduce them to the problem-solving skills involved in Python programming. It uses a proven scaffolding technique that empowers pupils to make progress and gain confidence in their programming skills. Lessons: Getting Started with Input and Output statements If Statements More Advanced If Statements For and While Loops Strings and Numbers Random Values Drawing with the Turtle Creating Robust Programs Good Programming Habits Writing and Using Lists Writing and Using 2D Lists Using Subprograms Recapping Programming Constructs Recapping Subprograms Recapping Lists and 2D lists Recapping Good Programming Practice Using External Text Files Creating SQL Databases using DB Browser Interrogating SQL database using Python Using Structure Diagrams to Plan Larger Programs The lessons are suitable for newly qualified teachers, non-specialist teachers and experienced computer science teachers who are looking to add a sprinkle of zesty brilliance to their lessons.

A great introduction to understanding computational thinking, algorithms and sorting and searching algorithms. Pupils learn about, decomposition, pattern recognition, writing algorithms, flowcharts, bubble sort, insertion sort, merge sort, linear search and binary search algorithms. These ready to use lessons will save you hours of preparation and can easily be adapted to meet your own requirements. WHAT IS INCLUDED? In this unit you have 9 ready-to-use lessons: 3 lessons on computational thinking (decomposition, pattern recognition and abstraction) 3 lessons on understanding algorithms (creating an algorithm, flowcharts, selection and iteration) 3 lessons on sorting and searching algorithms (bubble sort, insertion sort, merge sort, linear search and binary search) . These lessons include everything you need such as: a very high-quality accessible PowerPoint presentation for every lesson that effortlessly leads the teacher through the lesson and includes all the answers to the many questions and tasks the students need to complete an editable worksheet for every lesson an easy-to-follow editable lesson plan for every lesson . Not only have you got the complete lessons above but if you wanted to extend the searching and sorting algorithms unit I have made it extra easy by also including the Python programs (both with and without comments) for each of the searching and sorting algorithms along with the pseudocode covering the AQA, OCR and Edexcel syntax. PRIOR LEARNING Pupils do not need any prior learning for the first of these units “Computational thinking”. After the computational thinking unit pupils can progress immediately to “Understanding Algorithms” unit or you may want to split it up and use these units in separate year groups. Older pupils who are more familiar with Python will enjoy the “Sorting and Searching Algorithms” unit. EASY TO USE These ready to use resources are so straightforward that although I have included a lesson plan, most teachers can teach straight from the PowerPoint presentation without any further assistance. And best of all, the answers are included saving you time and energy. This makes these lessons suitable for experienced computing specialist teachers along with non-specialists and early career teachers. EDITABLE RESOURCES I understand that teachers want to adapt their resources, so I’ve made the bold decision to make these resources editable. Therefore, if you need to use a particular template style for your school or pupils with special educational needs, you can change the PowerPoint presentation, worksheet and lesson plan to suit your needs. These lessons are highly interactive and engage students straight from the start. Start reaping the benefits today of incredibly high-quality, professionally designed teaching resources that you can use with virtually no preparation.
