This dynamic intermediate Python unit builds on foundational skills, empowering students to become more confident, capable programmers with enhanced problem-solving abilities. 
 
Through 8 fully editable lessons, the JUMP123 methodology ensures interactive and effective learning, using proven educational psychology to reduce cognitive load and accelerate mastery of Python. 
 
Designed for students who have completed the introductory Python course, this unit introduces new concepts while reinforcing previous knowledge, shifting the focus to tackling more complex challenges and deepening their programming experience.
 
WHY CHOOSE JUMP123?
Editable Resources: Each lesson comes with a fully customisable PowerPoint and lesson plan, so you can adapt them to your school’s requirements and your own teaching style.
Teacher-Friendly: With built-in answers, these lessons support early-career teachers, non-specialists, and experienced educators, saving you time while ensuring that your students progress.
Student-Focused: Lessons are interactive, with activities like paired programming, paired discussions, questions and hands-on exercises to keep students actively engaged.
 
SKILLS YOUR STUDENTS WILL LEARN
By the end of the unit, students will confidently use:
Lists (including using them with a loop and using append and pop)
Trace tables
Libraries
Using functions and procedures including passing parameters and using tuples to return values
 
This unit places a stronger emphasis on problem-solving, incorporating more paired programming and discussions compared to the introductory Python course. It encourages students to develop real-world programming skills, such as finding solutions through repositories and adapting them to their own code.
 
While the basics are revisited, it is highly recommended that students complete the Introduction to Python unit beforehand to fully benefit from these lessons.
 
WHO IS THIS FOR?
These lessons are perfect for:
KS3 classes learning Python who already have confidence in using the basics
GCSE students who are missing the above-mentioned programming skills
 
FLEXIBLE FOR ANY PROGRAMMING PLATFORM
No matter which Python platform your school uses, this unit works seamlessly. All code can be copied into any environment for live coding demonstrations, so you can focus on teaching.
 
EASY PROGRESS TRACKING
The lessons follow the JUMP123 assessment methodology, making it simple to monitor and evaluate pupil progress. This ensures that all students are advancing their programming skills.
 
WHY IT WORKS
JUMP123 makes teaching Python a breeze by focusing on essential skills, reducing student overwhelm and providing ample practice to transfer knowledge into long-term memory. With this resource, you’ll see less confusion in the classroom and more confident coders.
