Python Lesson 3

In this lesson, you are going to learn how to program maths calculations in Python

Objectives and Outcomes

• To understand that data comes in different 'types'.
• To be able to describe a types of data (band 3)
• To be able to explain why a computer needs to know what the data type is for a given input / variable (band 4)
• To be able to apply this knowledge to create a program that performs arithmetic calculations (band 5)

1.  Open a new blog post and title it the same as this one.

2.  On your post, explain why we have to tell the program what type of data is being stored in a variable.  My slideshow will help you with this...

Here is the link to my slideshow that explains all of the above

Data types and maths in Python

Here is the link to the summary sheet (page 1) and the Maths Programming Tasks (page 2)

Programming Maths Tasks

All programs, once run and working, need to be screenshotted and pasted to a Google doc, one after the other.

Bronze - complete Tasks 1 -3 

Silver - complete Tasks 1 - 4

Gold - complete Tasks 1 -5

Those wanting to opt for Computer Science GCSE, try to do the Extension task as well
