A collection of 53 algorithm challenges for students to complete.

Each challenge has an AQA pseudocode, flowchart, and Python example solution.

This allows these challenges to be used to practice pseudocode, flowcharts, Python or all three.

At the beginning of the presentation there is an AQA pseudocode to Python conversion dictionary for students to refer to if practicing pseudocode to Python or vice versa.

Notes:

  • Some of the pseudocode examples solutions are in the slide notes as they did not fit on the slide.
  • All of the Python example solutions are replit links in the slide notes.
  • A zip file of the Pyrhon example solutins is also provided if needed
