GCSE – Lesson 9 – Selection challenge

Curriculum KS4 Unit Lesson

This lesson is an extension of lesson 8 where learners completed a PRIMM activity that introduced them to selection.

This will allow learners to apply their new knowledge to a new but similar scenario.

Learning objectives

  • Use selection statements in a program
  • Identify when selection statements should be used in programs
  • Write and use expressions that use comparison operators (equal to, not equal to, less than, greater than, less than or equal to, greater than or equal to)
