GCSE – Lesson 3 – Variables

Curriculum KS4 Unit Lesson

Learners will find out about variables during this lesson. They will learn about the purpose of variables but also the necessary technical aspects of creating variables to a uniform standard. Variable declaration is not used in Python so a wider look at this through other programming languages is given to allow learners to gain an insight into its meaning.

Learning objectives

  • Use meaningful identifiers
  • Determine the need for variables
  • Distinguish between declaration, initialisation and assignment of variables
  • Demonstrate appropriate use of naming conventions
  • Output data (e.g. print (my_var))

Package contents
