Python Challenges - Coding skill practice with increasing difficulty and tracking

Python Challenges consists of the following:

• A Student PowerPoint presentation containing 100 Python coding challenges covering the skills required for GCSE level programming. Challenges are relatively short and increase in difficulty gradually. Skills covered start with simple inputs and outputs then progress through all topics including type casting, built-in functions, user-defined functions, lists, 2D Lists and file handling.

• A teacher version of the PowerPoint containing slides with example code for all challenges.

• A Challenge tracker grid that students complete as they work through the challenges.

• A Student Python script template where students write their code and discover the colour to shade the square on the grid for each challenge.

• A Teacher Python script containing example code for all challenges.

The Python Challenges are a useful tool to use as recap on learning after a Python skill has been taught or as a revision aid later to check understanding and provide practice.
You can set challenges either for a whole lesson or as a gap filler at the end of an assessment or theory lesson.
