This assessment test allows you to assess your pupils against the national curriculum specification for Python programming. It should be used at the end of Key Stage 3 as a summative assessment rather than as a formative assessment.
The national curriculum specifies that by the end of Key stage 3 pupils should have been taught to “use two or more programming languages, at least one of which is textual, to solve a variety of computational problems; make appropriate use of data structures (for example, lists, tables or arrays); design and develop modular programs that use procedures or functions (for example, sub programs).”
This test allows you to assess if your pupils have met this criteria.
It includes a 6 page PDF document which should be printed and given to your pupils to complete under test conditions. There is no practical element to this test and is completed through a written test. This resource also includes a mark scheme to aid the teacher in marking the paper and even includes grade boundaries and descriptions that can assist the teacher when writing pupils’ long reports.
Duration: 1 lesson
This end of unit assessment does assume the pupils have been taught the following areas:
Data types
Syntax errors
Logical and sequence errors
Inputs and outputs
Sequence, selection and iteration
If…else statements
Drawing and understanding flow diagrams
Mathematical operators (+, -, * and /)
Comparison operators (>, <, >=, <=, == and !=)
For loops (count controlled loops)
While loops (condition controlled loops)
Simple lists and 2D lists (data structures)
Sub programs
Passing variables between sub programs and the main program
Local and global variables

A great introduction to understanding how to convert between hexadecimal, binary and denary number bases. These ready to use hexadecimal lessons will save you hours of preparation and can easily be adapted to meet your own requirements.
WHAT IS INCLUDED?
In this unit you have 2 ready-to-use lessons:
Converting binary to hex and hex to binary
Converting hex to denary and denary to hex
.
Everything you need is included such as:
a very high-quality accessible PowerPoint presentation for every lesson that effortlessly leads the teacher through the lesson and includes all the answers to the many questions and tasks the students need to complete
a 2-sided editable worksheet for every lesson
a fun puzzle matching game for every lesson which gives students a practical activity to further aid understanding of converting between different number bases
an easy-to-follow editable lesson plan for every lesson
.
PRIOR LEARNING
This unit does expect pupils to be familiar with binary and in particular know that:
binary is a base 2 number system used by computer systems
denary is a base 10 number system used by humans
how to translate binary to denary and denary to binary
.
If your students are unfamiliar with these concepts, I highly recommend purchasing my 2 lesson unit called “Understanding Binary” which covers all of these topics and will ensure your students are ready for this unit.

Here are 35 the posters to create an attractive display in your computer room to help explain to your students about a few of the important people in computing who have played a role in the development of computing technology.
Buy the display set now and instantly brighten your computer room.
HOW CAN YOU USE THIS DISPLAY?
This people in computing poster display works well when positioned:
around your room following a timeline
in a grid format
.
PREPARING THE DISPLAY
It is best to print the pages in colour, if you can, but I have included a black and white version too. If you are printing in black and white you may wish to print them onto coloured paper to add a bit of interest in your classroom.
I suggest printing the posters on card or laminating each page to give a more professional finish.
A nice display option, if you have room, is to display the posters of all the people in computing in date order joined to a ribbon to show a timeline for students to follow around your classroom. Use a wide brightly coloured ribbon for added interest. Alternatively, they fit nicely in a grid (7 x 5).
I’ve include a couple of suggested layouts to give you an idea of how you can display these people in computing posters.
What are you waiting for? Download this ready to use people in computing display poster pack now and get printing. They are sure to brighten your classroom.

HOW CAN THEY BE USED?
Once you have your pack of cards you can easily use them at any time you want. You can use them in so many ways…
As a starter or plenary
To give your pupils more practice during a lesson
To give to quick finishers
To help lower ability pupils reinforce the key skills
.
To use them you can either allocate particular cards to pupils or allow them to pick a random card from the deck themselves. Your students then create the program and can test it out on a classmate.
The beauty of this activity is because all the pupils are working on different tasks their classmates will not know the answers and are often delighted by the silly and humorous responses they get from the computer.
Once students have one program working correctly they can pick another card which keeps the entire class fully engaged allowing you to focus on helping the students who need your one-to-one help.

This pack includes a single 3 page PDF which gives your students an explanation of using strings, example code and 12 programming challenges for them to work through. You also get another PDF which contains printed versions of the suggested solutions AND you get the Python solutions in Python programs so you can open them and look at the code using an IDLE.
HOW CAN YOU USE THESE PYTHON CHALLENGES?
These challenges are very flexible and can be used in a variety of ways. The main PDF includes an explanation, example code and a page of Python coding challenges. Students can work through them individually and the attractive PDF handout makes a perfect homework task.
Alternatively you can print out the example code and page of Python challenges to give to your class as a starter, plenary or other in-class activity to enable your students to practise using their new skills.
You may even want to isolate the programming challenges into individual tasks, rather than use them as a printed activity to use them in your lesson as small individuals coding challenges.
They are also ideal for you for quick finishers or to motivate higher ability students to keep them interested and learning a new skill whilst you help other students who need a little more reassurance of the basics.
As you have a separate PDF of the answers you can give them to your class at a later date for them to mark themselves, although most students do not require this as they will discover if their code works when they run it and will debug if they find an error. You could also have the answer sheet ready as a help sheet for those who are stuck and need help.
What are you waiting for? Grab your copy of these flexible and highly useful Python challenges immediately. Your students will love them.
