Sample Upper KS2 questions

A preview of what your child will practice. Dailulu generates fresh questions every day.

Fill in the Blank

To repeat a section of code multiple times, you would use a ____ loop.

Answer: for

A for loop allows a specific number of repetitions, which is different from repeating without control.

Multiple Choice

A drawing app lets users choose a colour and size before drawing a circle. The app saves these choices in memory so it remembers what the user selected. What programming feature stores this information?

A functionA loopA variableA conditional

Variables store data like the chosen colour and size so the program can remember and use them later. Loops repeat actions, functions group code, and conditionals make decisions—but variables are specifically designed to hold information in memory.

Put in Order

Isabella is setting up a program for her pet to do tricks. What should her steps be in correct order?

  1. Define the tricks
  2. Program each trick
  3. Test each trick

She should begin with defining the tricks, then programming each trick, and finally testing each one to see if they work.

True or False

Noah wrote a code to check if a number is even. If he checks the number 7 and the program says it's even, he has written the code incorrectly.

True False

The number 7 is odd, so if the program says it's even, it contains an error.
