I’m sure your teacher will be impressed with your mastering the Terminal environment which you invoke with hot-keys Ctrl+Alt+T. A new text based window appears. By default, the terminal opens in your home.directory so you can simply enter
mkdir A452
To create the directory - mkdir is the command to make a directory, and if no explicit path is specified, the command will be executed in the current working directory. However, if your current working directory is not your home directory, you’ll need to manually force use of it, which you can do with something known as the tilde (~), which automatically refers to your user home.
mkdir ~/A452
That will create the directory under your home directory. As a bonus let the teacher know how to close the terminal window by typing:
exit
