Here is a Knowledge Organiser for Wireframes

In this lesson, we will focus on Wireframes. These can be used as a tool to design a website

For examples, this is the BBC Bitesize website

The design for this website can look something like this.

This would be a low fidelity wireframe, as it does not show any pictures or logos. We could add more exact details to make a hi-fidelity wireframe

Here is another example of a Wireframe, for a YouTube channel

Your task

1. Create a low-fidelity wireframe for the home page for the BBC website

or you can choose a business, such as Domino’s

2. Make a copy of your wireframe and convert it to a high-fidelity wireframe

A high-fidelity wireframe will include some pictures or a logo or any other graphics that may be used.

Either use the class code given to you by your teacher, or you can play now.

You can then start the puzzles. You will be able to;

• Customise your hero
• Watch the introduction video (subtitled if no sound)
• See the progress map

Here is the secomd puzzle. You have to move the hero to the red flag, by using Python Code

Here is the solution

Remember, it will get progressively harder, so you go through the levels

Here is the solution

Which does work; however, there is lots of code being repeated. There is a solution for that, which I found at the code bank.

Go through the map and check your progress

Remember to follow the instructions

What is a spreadsheet?

I like to this of a spreadsheet, as a very large piece of paper, where we can make lots of calculations.

There appears to be lots of boxes. These boxes are known as cells.

Each cell has a cell reference.

The cell reference is the column letter followed by the row number. The cell reference for the green cell above is B3.

Task : Create the spreadsheet as shown below (the teacher may give you a template)

Add the following items to your spreadsheet

You can also add some extra items of your own

Formula

You need formula to calculate the total price.

This will be Unit Sales – Price Per Unit

The Discount per item, which is the Price Per Unit * 20%

The actual Price per Unit, which is the Price per Unit – Discount

The Revenue, which is the Discounted Price Per Unit * Unit Sales

Extension : Working out a discount

Add 2 more columns

Notice that you have to use the dollar sign on the cells to work out the discounted price

Using borders
