Programming - Calculating wages
In this programming task students have to create a program to calculate how much to pay delivery drivers based on either the hours they work or the number of parcels they deliver. The students are given the rules that should apply to the program and are then encouraged to plan their program either as a flowchart or pseudocode before they start to code in Python.
Once the code is written students have to complete a test plan to identify any problems and debug any errors. For students that require more support with Python programming there is a scaffolded coding task where the lines of code are written, but are in a random order, so students have to sequence these correctly.
The activity includes:
- teacher notes
- adaptable presentation
- adaptable student activity sheet
- suggested solutions
Python files in a zip folder
- Scaffolded programming task
- Example solution - Concatenation
- Example solution - F-strings
