Description

In this unit pupils will discover how data is represented and processed in sequences, such as lists and strings. They will cover a spectrum of operations on sequences of data, that range from accessing an individual element to manipulating the entire sequence though real world practical activites.

This unit builds on pupils' prior experience of writing Python programs that handle input and output, use simple arithmetic expressions and control the flow of execution through selection and iteration structures. In this unit pupils will explore how data can be represented and processed in sequences, such as strings and lists. Pupils will progress from operations that range from accessing an individual element to manipulating an entire sequence. This manipulation of collections of data as pupils move on to considering the structure of data to improve the efficiency of the processing required.
