Mouse Maze is a fun introduction to decomposition, algorithms and iteration (loops). It works well as an extended starter. Print out the simple maze, or distribute the PowerPoint file to students (the mouse icon can be dragged and rotated). They must list the steps required for Mousey to reach the cheese. Decomposition: breaking the problem into smaller steps (i.e. solving the maze) Algorithms: listing the steps to guide Mousey through the maze Iteration: making the algorithm more efficient by repeating parts of it (challenge / extension activity) The download includes: A full set of teacher’s instructions PowerPoint maze for students which can be used electronically or printed out PowerPoint 6 slides showing the task, solution, sections which are repeated, and a more efficient solution. The final slide has definitions of ‘algorithm’ and ‘decomposition’, plus a note to tell students that they have already achieved both during the lesson. Pupils enjoy the activity and it is a great way to introduce the concepts for the first time. I hope you and your pupils enjoy it :)

Use SQL to return results of queries on the supplied James Bond movie database (e.g. What is the average IMDB rating of movies directed by John Glen?) The worksheet includes instructions for creating a new database, uploading the SQL file to it, then using SQL to obtain the answers to questions. Students can copy and paste their queries and results into the worksheet, then save or print for marking. SQL commands used: describe, select, count, from, where, group by, like, and, or; and wildcards. The database is a single-table flat database. This is an intermediate-level task, suitable for students who are already familiar with SQL commands and structure. It also assumes that users will be using phpMyAdmin and they have sufficient privileges to create and edit databases. My Year 12 and 13 Computer Science A-Level students enjoyed the lesson, which took around 1 hour for most to complete. Included: SQL file, student worksheet, teacher’s answer sheet.

Create quiz questions and answers in a spreadsheet, export to a CSV file, and write a Python program to use the CSV files for a multiple-choice quiz.

Students can re-visit the CSV file and add more questions as the year progresses. Teaches: CSV (comma-separated value) files Python file-handling; two-dimensional lists; variables; iteration Stretch / challenge activities: Add a scoring system Accept upper and lower case inputs Fix a ‘bug’ where the same question may appear multiple times Add a graphic interface Files included: Printable PDF worksheet (copy and paste is restricted so students must type their code Sample CSV file with six questions and answers Python file of the completed activity Python file containing stretch / challenge solutions (except the GUI) This is a great one or two lesson activity – ideal for a spare lesson at the end of term.
