Programming paradigms lesson for Cambridge International AS & A Level Computer Science (9618), with editable PowerPoint slides, a student worksheet and full answers. A programming paradigm is a style of programming; students compare low-level, imperative, object-oriented and declarative approaches.

Written for Paper 4 Practical, section 20 Further programming (syllabus 20.1.1, 20.1.2 b). Everything is editable, so you can adapt it to your class.

What’s included
  • PowerPoint lesson (14 slides) with teacher notes on every slide
  • Student worksheet (Word), ready to print or edit
  • Answer sheet (Word) with mark-scheme style answers for every question
P4.15 Programming paradigms

By the end of the lesson students can:

  • Explain what a programming paradigm is and outline the low-level, imperative, object-oriented and declarative paradigms
  • Describe the features of imperative (procedural) programming: variables, constructs, procedures and functions
  • Write a structured procedural program in Python with parameters, return values and local variables

Worksheet sections: A. Key words; B. Identify and predict; C. Write a procedural program; D. Exam-style questions; E. Challenge

Every lesson includes
  • Learning goals and a starter question
  • Clear explanations, diagrams and worked examples (Cambridge pseudocode, as in the 2027–2029 pseudocode guide, with Python alongside)
  • A quick check and a “your turn” task linked to the worksheet
  • Exam-style questions with marks, and an exit ticket
Format
  • PowerPoint (.pptx) and Word (.docx), fully editable
  • Works in PowerPoint and Google Slides
  • Calm, muted sixth-form design, consistent across the whole course

These are independent resources written for the Cambridge International AS & A Level Computer Science syllabus (9618) for examination in 2027, 2028 and 2029. They are not produced or endorsed by Cambridge University Press & Assessment. Syllabus point numbers are our own numbering of the syllabus statements.
