Curriculum Content
  • 2.8) List
    •
    Prior Knowledge

    Students should know:

  • Conditional statements, variables, operators and clones.

    • Exercises

    Exercise 1


    1. Create a shopping list using a list.

    Exercise 2


    1. Create a quiz using a list.

    Solutions

    • Teacher Instructions
    1. Teachers should introduce lists using simple mathematical examples before setting this exercise.
    2. Teachers should teach the difference between variables and lists.
    3. POINTS TO PONDER: How many steps does it take to sort N numbers? The solution given takes about k × N² steps. There are algorithms that sort in fewer steps - teachers can explain how merge sort or heap sort works.
