We were guided to download the Python application through Anaconda which worked. I have been using Jupyther through a browser to practice Python exercises. However anytime we are given an assignment in Python and I download, it doesn't open in Python.

I would recommend looking in your Start menu for Idle, for a start.

There are quite a few ways to have lunch with Python, although most of
them would end up with the python having lunch with you. So I would
recommend looking through your course's instructions for how they
advise you to run things. Are you supposed to use a text editor and
then run a script? Are you supposed to work interactively?
