Hi all! We teach Computing across different schools and often get asked for interactive resources - so that's what we make. Most resources you will find on here are interactive activities for the children to complete, either on their own device or as an interactive whiteboard activity! Please feel free to send requests or for variations of things found in our shop.

An incredibly extensive but easy to use file contains:
36 types of arithmetic questions.
30 randomly generated questions for each question type. That’s over 1000 questions!
Each set of questions is differentiated 3 ways with difficulty progression within.
Easily printable for worksheets and answers are printable too.
Even better completed on the computer by the children as it AUTOMARKS the work giving instant feedback and opportunity to correct.
Infinite re-usability due to being able to random generate new questions with the click of a button.

My name is Martin Goulden and I’ve worked in Primary Schools for over 10 years, first as a TA and now as an independent Computing specialist. As my wife is a teacher, I know the pressure that teachers are under in order to provide individualised learning, assessment and feedback for each child. I once saw a teacher spend hours and hours preparing and then marking a handful of individualised arithmetic questions only to find that, as usual, some children had completely missed the mark. I had to help, not just the teachers to save the hours of prep and marking time but the children too, to give them instant feedback and satisfaction during their arithmetic sessions.
It has taken me around 100 hours to create this resource in the hope that it will collectively save teachers thousands of hours and provide children with a great platform to learn from.
