Python Programming Intermediate Workbook for KS3, Year 8 9 in Secondary Schools

This Python Further Programming Workbook has been designed to follow on my first Python Programming workbook, by giving students knowledge about manipulating string, creating more complex decision-making using nested selection, using lists to store multiple pieces of data, creating reusable programs with subroutines and mastering nested iteration.

Contents:

• Introduction
• String Manipulation
• Nested Selection
• Lists
• Subroutines
• Nested Iteration

The long term objective is to build their knowledge ready AQA GCSE Computer Science.

The questions in this KS3 Python Workbook have been carefully created to be solvable by all students either on a computer or off line using pen and paper. Each topic has ten questions with five extra bonus questions as extension work.

Question techniques include:

• Simple Recall Questions
• Fill in the Blanks
• Parsons Problems
• Predicting Outcomes
• Error Detection
• Scaffolded Programming Questions
  This approach ensures that even students without access to a computer can fully engage and learn Python.

A wide range of abilities will be able to attempt this workbook with the reading age aimed at around 13 years old, so suitable for the majority of your year 9 students.

The resource contains a questions PDF, an answers PDF, and a .py file with all the code you will need for any live coding demonstrations.
