Micro-Teaching lesson plan 4

Subject: Python programming

Date: 4 Dec 2023

Time: 15 minutes

Period: 1st

Teaching Item: Ranges in Python

Class: Bachelor

Objective: By the end of this lesson, students will be able to:

1. Understand the concepts of Ranges in Python.

2. Apply basic operations and methods on Ranges.

Materials Needed:

- Python interpreter or IDE

- Projector for demonstration

Introduction:

1. Greet the students and provide an overview of the lesson.

2. Explain that today's lesson will focus on fundamental data structures in Python: Ranges.

3. Emphasize the importance of understanding these data structures for building more complex programs.

Explanation of Ranges:

1. Define Ranges as immutable sequences of numbers.

2. Explain that ranges are commonly used for iterating over sequences of numbers in loops.

3. Discuss the syntax of range objects and how they can be used with the `range()` function.

4. Illustrate examples of creating ranges with different start, stop, and step values.

5. Emphasize that ranges are memory-efficient for representing sequences of numbers without actually storing them.

Conclusion and Practice:

1. Recap the key points covered in the lesson: Ranges.

2. Encourage students to practice creating and manipulating ranges on their own.

3. Invite students to ask questions for clarification.

Assessment:

- Informal assessment through observation of students' participation in discussions and activities.

- Assign a small exercise or task for students to complete independently or in pairs to assess their understanding of the concepts covered.
