Parsons Problems are solutions to a coding problem but the lines are jumpled up.
Good for differentiation as it can help reduce cogitive load and teach good programming practices. Good for visual and kinaesthetic learners.
Great for starter or extension activities for the students to go on, while you can set up for any other activity. Good for a debugging session and great to expand upon (Modify - PRIMM).

This resource is a custom set of PowerPoint slides that provides three different ways to attempt them:

  1. Draging and dropping lines on the PowerPoint itself
  2. Download the code to solve on your own IDE, also available in Replit.com (an online IDE) to fork as well.
  3. An online drag and drop website which shuffles all the lines that can check if it is correct

The feature of the ‘Hard’ difficulty is that a few lines are shuffled with more “scenarios” than tutorials. You can edit the slides so that it requires the user to fill in missing key words. Adapt as necessary for your class.

  1. Outputs
  2. Variables and Outputs
  3. Variables, Outputs, and Inputs
  4. Maths Operators (input integers)
  5. Random numbers
