Python For Loop

Just a simple lesson that goes through a “for” loop in python. Shows the main syntax, how to define the number of iterations. Bulk of the activity is using turtle to draw various shapes, it’s an easy way to show how loop reduce coding. Used this in few year 7 classes, it’s gone over well as its more visual, challenge is easily increased by changing the shapes, from a square to a house. One pupil even tried to create a multi-coloured honeycomb pattern to fill out the window. I’ve included a txt file with python code of potential solutions, just needs to be copy and pasted into python.
