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.

Having already written Python programs that handle input, output, calculations and control flow, pupils are now ready to explore how data can be stored and processed in sequences such as strings and lists. This unit develops their understanding of how to work with collections of data, moving from accessing individual elements to manipulating entire sets. Learning these techniques at this stage helps pupils see how structured data makes programs more efficient, preparing them to solve increasingly complex problems where handling and organising information is essential.

  1. Creating lists in Python
  2. Python list operations
  3. Iterating through data structures
  4. Using for loops to iterate data structures
  5. Mathematical operations in data structures
  6. Data structure projects in Python
