Two homework sheets on low level languages. The first compares the key features of low level languages and high level languages. The second focuses on suitability of languages for particular tasks, and includes some exam style questions. Both include separate answer sheets. Useful as homework tasks, classroom tasks, or revision work. Can be used in conjunction with my Low level programming languages lesson. Fully editable resource.

Practical lesson on low level languages, focusing on assembly language. The bulk of the lesson is practical programming exercises using the Little Man Computer (LMC). By comparing their existing knowledge of a high level language with these assembly language programming tasks, pupils should be able to grasp the differences between the two types of programming language. The plenary reinforces these differences. Includes a worked example, 6 differentiated assembly language program activities, an instruction set help sheet, a short lesson plenary, and a longer version that can be used as homework (both with answers). Fully editable resource.

This mini-programming project is designed to give students who are learning programming and software design a more realistic, larger scale project to apply their skills. This project can be completed by students with a knowledge of: Variables and data types If-else statements Loops Arrays / lists Records / classes GUI (optional) The project includes a blank planning and testing sheet to help scaffold students’ ideas, plus a partially completed version of the same sheet for students needing more support. Extension tasks are also included for more advanced students. The project is written without reference to specific programming languages or features, so should be achievable in any popular language. All documents are in Word format and are fully editable. This project is also available in a bundle of 5 programming projects.

50 More Python programming ideas builds upon my earlier 64 Python Programming Exercises. These 50 all-new exercises range from “Hello World” style first programs to advanced skills using arrays and functions. Many tasks also have extension (“bonus”) sections to stretch pupils. Exercises are sorted into sections by the skills needed to complete them (conditionals, loops, arrays, etc). A good resource for homework, extension tasks, and independent learning. Fully editable resource, ready for printing or online use. Topics covered: Basic input and output Conditionals Loops (while and for) Strings Arrays and Lists Procedures and Functions Some of the exercises in this document require sample code for students to edit: this code is provided in the download. The exercises in this resource can be completed in any programming language, but some of the phrasing in the questions is specific to Python. There is also a Java version of this resource available for teachers and student who prefer that language.
