Six differentiated Python Turtle tasks and sorting activity

Lesson Objectives:
- Draw basic shapes using the Turtle graphics library
- Use iteration (for loops) to draw repeating patterns
- Develop your computational thinking skills

This resource includes SIX fun and engaging tasks, differentiated to enable all students to participate and make progress:

- Red task - square and triangle
- Amber task - coloured square
- Green task - star
- Silver task - coloured boxes
- Gold task - envelope
- Platinum task - Ulam spiral

The Turtle commands at the end of the document can be cut up and used as a sorting exercise. Great for a starter! The document contains an index page with links to the each task for convenience.

The Python GUI (IDLE) has two main window types, the Shell window and the Editor window. These tasks should be typed into an Editor window, NOT a Shell window. For more information, please consult the official Python Documentation.
