CSP Python – Lesson 8.1: Types of Errors | Syntax, Runtime & Logic Errors

Description

Help students build confidence by understanding why programs fail with this classroom-ready Computer Science Principles (CSP) worksheet for Python.

In Lesson 8.1 — Types of Errors, students learn to identify and explain the three main types of programming errors: syntax errors, runtime errors, and logic errors. Rather than focusing on fixing code immediately, this lesson emphasizes error classification and reasoning, helping students understand what went wrong before trying to debug.

This lesson introduces a core idea of Computer Science Principles: programs rarely work the first time, and errors are a normal and expected part of programming.

Designed in the Mr. H Codes instructional style, this resource is clear, structured, student-friendly, and sub-ready.

🔹 Students Will Learn To

Identify syntax, runtime, and logic errors

CCSSMP1

Make sense of problems and persevere in solving them. Mathematically proficient students start by explaining to themselves the meaning of a problem and looking for entry points to its solution. They analyze givens, constraints, relationships, and goals. They make conjectures about the form and meaning of the solution and plan a solution pathway rather than simply jumping into a solution attempt. They consider analogous problems, and try special cases and simpler forms of the original problem in order to gain insight into its solution. They monitor and evaluate their progress and change course if necessary. Older students might, depending on the context of the problem, transform algebraic expressions or change the viewing window on their graphing calculator to get the information they need. Mathematically proficient students can explain correspondences between equations, verbal descriptions, tables, and graphs or draw diagrams of important features and relationships, graph data, and search for regularity or trends. Younger students might rely on using concrete objects or pictures to help conceptualize and solve a problem. Mathematically proficient students check their answers to problems using a different method, and they continually ask themselves, "Does this make sense?" They can understand the approaches of others to solving complex problems and identify correspondences between different approaches.

CCSSMP6

Attend to precision. Mathematically proficient students try to communicate precisely to others. They try to use clear definitions in discussion with others and in their own reasoning. They state the meaning of the symbols they choose, including using the equal sign consistently and appropriately. They are careful about specifying units of measure, and labeling axes to clarify the correspondence with quantities in a problem. They calculate accurately and efficiently, express numerical answers with a degree of precision appropriate for the problem context. In the elementary grades, students give carefully formulated explanations to each other. By the time they reach high school they have learned to examine claims and make explicit use of definitions.
