Do it now activityLast term we learnt about how data is represented in a computer and about how to identify different volumes of data.

How many bits in a nibble?What does 8 bits equal?How many bytes in a kilobyte?How many bytes in a megabyte?What happens if a computer runs out of RAM?

Introduce Python and the print function

AIM

1. Navigate Idle (create, save, run programs)

2. Understand and use:1. Mathematical operations2. ‘print’ function

LEARNING OBJECTIVES

LEARNING OUTCOMES

ALL(Level 5)

Understand that programming bridges the gap between algorithmic solutions and computers.

Demonstrate practical experience of a high-level textual language

MOST(Level 6)

Detect and correct syntactical errorsExplain and use functions appropriately

SOME(Level 7)

Apply a modular approach to error detection andcorrection

By the end of this lesson you will be able to ....
