List Workshop
Building, indexing and walking through lists
About 45 minutesAdvancedTurtle and Code
What your child can do at the end
Index a list correctly, including the last item
The brief
A list holds many values under one name, and almost every real program is full of them: scores, prices, names, readings. The two things that catch people are counting from zero and building a list while you loop over another one. Today you practise both until they stop catching you.
Skills it develops
python basics
How it is assessed
3 graded challenges inside the lab, and 8 questions at the end that check the idea rather than the clicks. Every attempt is saved, so a retry after a mistake counts as the learning it is.
