These exercises were written to solve that familiar problem of; “what homework do I give during practical lessons like programming?”. In this series of questions students are asked to consider small programming problems and design solutions using pseudocode or a programming language of their choice. Homework 2 of 10 includes questions on: - Input - Output - Calculation - Conditional (If) Statement - Conditional Loop. Two additional theory questions cover Test Data and Reasons for using Input Validation. Two marking schemes give answers in: 1. Pseudocode and Python 2. Pseudocode and Visual Basic My students found this a very helpful aid to their understanding of program structures and problem solving. Questions 1-5 are available to purchase as a bundle. https://www.tes.com/teaching-resource/practise-programming-questions-1-to-5-bundle-11543151

This is a short written task is designed to following an introductory lesson on HTML. The 10 to 15 minute, 18 mark homework sheet has two pages which cover the basic structure and tags of an HTML file. Question 1 shows a html file with most of the elements names removed from the tags. Students have to correctly complete the start and end tags for head, title, body, h1 and p. Question 2 shows a web page in a browser along with the HTML file. Students have to identify eight pieces of code that have been removed from the file, writing in the missing code. This could easily be used as class written work or for staff absence cover.

A colorful, helpful information document for anyone learning how to use Microsoft Word. Each page contains detailed instructions and lots of screenshots showing how to create and modify bullet point lists in Word. The document has two uses as page 1 could also be printed on its own as an A3 poster for IT rooms. Content Page 1 When to use bullet points How to use bullet points Page 2 How to position bullet points How to start a new line within a single bullet point Page 3 How to change the space between bullet points Page 4 How to change the shape of the bullets How to create your own bullets by uploading a picture A GReat resource for young learners.

(Greg Reid has written two Computing text books for the Scottish education system. His resources are used in thousands of schools all over the world.) Computational Thinking (learning to think in a logical/problem solving way) is the buzz word in the teaching of programming. By teaching students to predict the outcome of small pieces of code they naturally become better at building their own programs. Although this homework uses Scratch program code, the code is simply a vehicle to ask the questions and the homework may be used with students who have never seen Scratch. Permission has been granted by the Scratch team to uses images of Scratch code. Have fun. My students loved these! Previously downloaded 30,000 times on a few websites comments have included: “Thanks, these look like really good examples and introduce code in a fun and engaging way.” “Very useful. I’ll use for a Maths class as well.” “Great examples to understand code. Thank you for sharing it.”

There are several skills required to be a good programmer. One of these is being able to modularise programs by identifying blocks of code. This Scratch homework is based around the “broadcast” block which can be used to modularise programs allowing greater control over order, reuse of code and gives sprites the ability to communicate with each other. The homework starts with a worked example. There are four questions making this homework about a 10-15 minute task. Note that question 4 will be out of reach of most younger pupils and should possibly set as a challenge (possibly with a certificate or prize for those who successfully solve it) Students love this style of problem solving homework. Have fun!

There are several skills required to be a good programmer. One of these is being able to identify the order of code. In this Scratch homework students are given a description of a short animation and the blocks required to build it, Their task is identify the correct order of the blocks. The homework starts with a worked example. There are three questions making this homework about a 10-15 minute task. Students love this style of problem solving homework.

(My resources are used in thousands of schools all over the world. I hope you enjoy this one.) At the end of my App Inventor unit I asked my students to create a phone app of their own. While most coped well others required a bit more help. These three worksheets provide worked examples to be used for inspiration. The worksheets may also be used by staff who wish to see working examples of apps as part of their own learning.

(Hi there. I am an experienced writer of resources who has written two Computing text books for the Scottish education system. My resources are always designed to be engaging and exciting. As a result they are used in thousands of schools all over the world.) Previously downloaded over 27,000 times, this worksheet is an excellent introduction to Scratch. Scratch is a fantastic free program developed by MIT to teach programming concepts to young children. The worksheet is very visual, providing a clear set of instruction on how to create a basic 'shark chasing fish' game with movement, control and scoring. Royalty free images are supplied for use with the worksheet. 7 Extension Sheets are also available to download. This resource was previously rated 5 from 29 ratings. "The teaching resources are fun, and task sheets clearly explain all aspects of Scratch and the game elements."
