Use a highlighter to identify the important bits of information in the text
that help you to answer the questions below.
There are 13 Ashoka trees currently in the park. Park workers will plant 28 more
Ashoka trees today and 36 more Ashoka trees tomorrow. It will take 10 workers 8
hours to finish the project.
Using the information that you have highlighted, answer the following
questions. Make sure you show your working.
1 How many Ashoka trees will the park have when the workers are finished?
2 How many trees were planted in 1 hour?
3 6 of the workers planted 8 trees each. The other workers each planted an equal number
of trees. How many trees did each of the other 4 workers plant?
IDLE programming environment
Look at the Scratch and IDLE programming environments above. Write the similarities and differences between
them in the table below.
When looking for similarities and differences, think about:
• Is there a specific area in which to do the programming?
• Do both provide you with areas to select the code you need?
• What happens when you run a program?
• What can you do if you get stuck?
Similarities Differences

Worksheet 13
7.1.4
Read the following scenario:
Amir wants to know how many guests are attending an event so that he can calculate
how many sandwiches to make. He also needs to know how many of the guests are
vegetarian.
If they are vegetarian, they will get a cheese sandwich; if not, they will get a chicken
sandwich.
The program should output the number of cheese sandwiches required and the number
of chicken sandwiches required.
Create a flowchart for this scenario. Below is a reminder of the different
symbols you should use:
Symbol Purpose
Used at the start and end of a flowchart to
signify the start and end
Used when data needs to be input and/or
output from a program, e.g. input number 1
Used when something needs to happen,
e.g. add two numbers together

Worksheet 18
7.1.6
Read the following scenario:
A student completes three tests in school. Each test is scored out of 100.
The teacher wants to input all three scores and get the program to calculate the mean
average score.
If the average is greater than 60, then the program should say that the student has
passed.
If the average is less than 60, then the program should check whether it is greater than
40. If it is, then the program should say that the student can re-sit the tests.
If the average is below 40, then the program should say that they have failed.
Create a flowchart for this scenario. Below is a reminder of the different
symbols you can use.
Symbol Purpose
Used at the start and end of a flowchart to
signify the start and end
Used when data needs to be input and/or
output from the program, e.g. input number
1
Used when something needs to happen,
e.g. add two numbers together
Used when a decision has to be made and
there are two possible outcomes; the
decision should be written inside the
diamond
