Decompose the problem
Identify inputs, outputs, decisions and repeated steps before thinking about syntax.
Programming guidance
Turn problems into clear, tested solutions.
Strong programmers make their thinking visible through decomposition, algorithms, traces and purposeful tests.
Trace the logic
Walk through sample data to find gaps before implementation.
Test deliberately
Choose normal, boundary and invalid data that demonstrates correct behaviour.
Use pseudocode as a thinking tool
Pseudocode makes logic visible without distracting students with language-specific details.
- Clear variables
- Structured control
- Readable modules
- Traceable logic
Translate with understanding
Move into Python only when the algorithm is clear enough to explain.
- Map structures
- Run small parts
- Inspect values
- Refactor carefully
Debug systematically
Treat errors as evidence and use a repeatable process to locate the cause.
- Reproduce
- Isolate
- Predict
- Retest
