Turtle Assessment

This assessment has 25 marks. Work independently. Read each example from top to bottom and check variable values carefully. Your teacher will release feedback after the assessment.

Multiple choice1 mark

Written answer2 marks

A for loop draws all its sides in one straight line because the turn instruction is not indented. Describe the correction and explain why it works.

State where the turn must go and what will then repeat.

Students type their answer here.

Runnable task

Complete the program so it draws a closed regular triangle.

Requirements:

  • keep sides = 3 and side_length = 90;
  • calculate turn_angle using 360 / sides;
  • use one for loop;
  • move and turn inside the for loop.

The check can prove the variables, for loop and final Turtle position. Your teacher will also look at the visible drawing.

Small syntax reminder

A for loop line ends with a colon. Its repeated instructions are indented by four spaces.

Coding task4 marks
from turtle import *

sides = 3
side_length = 90
Written answer2 marks

Explain how sides controls both the number of repeats and the turn angle in the triangle program.

Use the phrases range(sides) and 360 / sides.
