ACARA 7-8 Digital Technologies: Algorithms, tracing, debugging and testing in Python
Students turn flowcharts and pseudocode into Python, trace programs by hand, then find, fix and test errors using print(), breakpoints, stepping and test cases.
One content description (AC9TDI8P05, AC9TDI8P06, AC9TDI8P09) from the full ACARA Digital Technologies Years 7–8 — Programming with Control Structures and Functions (Python) journey. All 14 modules below are in that journey too, with the same content — add just these to a class, or the whole strand.
