Variables lesson tasks - to be used in conjunction with my lesson on variables. Designed for Y9

1. Lesson Tasks
PYTHON LESSON 2: VARIABLES

2. Choose a black card you think will be
funny. Delete the others.

3. Choose the three funniest white cards
that go with your black card. Delete
the others.
[Create your own
card here if you like]

4. Get coding!

5. Try it out!
 Run your program using this icon:
 When you get the input box, type in one of the answers from the white
cards on slide 3.
 Does it work as intended? If not, go back and check your code
 If it works, add comments to your code (remember comments explain
your program and you start them with #). Then move on to the next slide

6. Add screenshot of your code here

7. Add screenshots of the output with all
three of your white cards here

8. Questions for you to answer
1. What is the name of the variable in your code?
2. What does the variable do?
3. How do you get input from the program user?
4. How can we quickly identify variables when looking at our code?
5. How do we indicate which are our sentences and which are variables?
6. How do we join our variables to sentences?

9. Extension Tasks
 Can you work out how to ask the user their name and then say hello to
them before starting the Complete the Sentence game? If you get this
working, put a screenshot on the next slide.
 The variable in our code was called “answer”. Read here about naming
variables and different data types and then summarise what you have
learnt in your own words
