CI 6.3: DL5.1:
programming
Reference: Computing Curriculum P.g. 19

Keywords: Algorithm, source code, compiler, data type, variable, constant, conditional, array, loop, function, class

Activities For Learning & Assessment Resources Progression


Starter (5 mins) Pictures and Demonstrate
videos the use of
Ask learners questions to review what they already know about constants and
programming. variables used in
 What makes your computers and phone work? programming
 Do you know how your favorite game was developed?

Share performance indicators and introduce the lesson.

Main (35 mins)

This activity should be done groups. Write down these questions each on a
paper.
1. What is computer programming?
2. State and explain any four terminologies used to describe
programming concepts.
3. Identify and explain the various data types.

Give learners enough time to finish the task. Call group 1 to do a presentation
to the whole class. Allow learners to ask questions for more clarification.

Revise with learners on the meaning of programming.


Programming is the process of creating a set of instructions that tell a computer
how to perform a task.

Remind learners that programming is done using a variety of computer


programming languages, such as JavaScript, Python and C++.

Have learners mention some computer application softwares they know.


Example: Microsoft Office, Mavis Beacon, FIFA, etc.

Learners describe and demonstrate how these softwares work.


Guide learners to discuss the use of variables and constants as useful
ingredients for defining values that are used within a function or
program.
 Learners to understand that in programming, constants are used
to store information that is never going to change.
 Learners to understand variables in programming as any
characteristics, number, or quantity that can be measured or
counted.
E.g. age, sex, country of birth, class grades, eye color, etc.

Have learners use the internet to search for more practical example of
variables and constants in programing.
Example:
During the running of a program, there will be times when the program
needs to remember/ sort a value so it can be read and used later on.

Surname Smith Bonus 100

In groups, learners discuss the benefits of using variables instead of


constants in a program.

Reflection (10 mins)


Use peer discussion and effective questioning to find out from learners
what they have learnt during the lesson.

Take feedback from learners and summarize the lesson.


Homework/Project Work/Community Engagement Suggestions
 State three benefits of using variables and constants in a program.
