A project to create a version of snakes and ladders using Python. Teaching pupils key algorithmic thinking skills such as abstraction and decomposition. Pupils can use Selection, Iteration, Lists and Dictionaries to create a two plaver snakes and ladders game. Teaching materials and snakes and ladders solution included.

Seven lesson unit of study teaching pupils how to write programs to control a turtle and draw shapes on screen. The shapes become progressively more challenging and teach pupils key computing skills such as abstraction, decomposition and problem solving. Programming skills covered include sequence, selection, iteration, parameters and lists. All teaching resources, python solutions and assessment activities included.

Structured Approach to programming Using Abstraction and Decomposition, develop a solution to simulate a Bank Account allowing customers to create an account with a unique account number and sort code. Customers can sign up for standard accounts or if old enough special “gold accounts”. Customers can view their account details, make deposits and withdrawals. Using functions, lists, loops and conditions to create a simulation of a bank account system.
