Python Programming ToolBox - Help Cards - Skills, Functions and Errors cards - J276/J277 OCR

All the help sheets below were created inline with the specification for OCR J276/J277 ‘Computational thinking, algorithms and programming’ and ‘Programming Project’ sections of the course.

I created these for my own Year 10/11 students and they have found them very useful, when introducing sections of Python programming theory.

I use these in lessons to push that Software Engineering is a form of Engineering. The idea is that you create toolboxs (I use plastic buttoned wallets), these contain all the skills, Functions and Error Cards. A toolbox the students can go in to get the tools they need to solve problems. My Y10s use these for independant work as I have only recently created them. However with my Y9’s I give them the cards as they obtain the skills throughout the scheme of works. This way they build their own collection of learnt skills and functions that they can look back on when problem solving.

All the cards have been designed to be printed double sided on the long edge, All cards are using the ‘OpenDyslexic’ font, this can be seen on the PDF’s. Formatting may differ on the publisher document if you do not have the font installed.

This pack consists of the original publisher file’s as well as PDFs of all the cards too. I have also created a PDF of each set of cards that represent each separate group of cards, Skill, Function and Error.

Enjoy!
