This short unit of work introduces year 7 students to the basic concepts of algorithm design. Students will learn the following: Understand that an algorithm is a set of instructions used to solve a problem. Use both flowchart and pseudocode to design an algorithm. Learn the following algorithm design techniques; Sequence Selection Understand Boolean statements such as <, > and = and know when to apply them within an algorithm. Understand how to use variables to store information for later use within an algorithm. This resource includes a range of clearly presented explanations as well as a range of structured tasks to help your students practice their skills. It is recommended that students first complete the Computational Thinking for KS3 unit of work in order to develop a basic understanding of both computational thinking and algorithms. This unit of work also includes a final assessment. Full teacher solutions also included!

This comprehensive resource covers all the key areas of study for Computer Science, with particular focus on the AQA exam board, however, the concepts are applicable to all. This resource contains a comprehensive range of keywords and terms as well as definitions, explanations and diagrams to support student understanding within the following areas of the curriculum: Computational Thinking Algorithm Design Data Types Programming Concepts 1 Programming Concepts 2 Arithmetic Operations Relational & Boolean Operations Data Structures String Handling Operations Classification of Programming Languages Number Bases Units of Information Character encoding Data Representation Data Compression Computer Systems 1 Computer Systems 2 Storage Computer Networks 1 Computer Networks 2 Cyber Security Social Engineering Malicious Code Prevention of Cyber Security Threats Impact of Digital Technology on Society This resource contains: an interactive PDF vocabularly booklet (includes navigation links for quick access to different topics) an interactive ppt for teachers to use for whole class discussion a standard ppt to be used to create paper copies of the booklet a vocabulary list Please Leave a Review!

Part 3 of a series of 7 introductory lessons on how to use Python through the use of the IDLE GUI. Within Part 3 you will learn how to add comments to your code to help explain what you have done... both as a reminder to yourself or to someone else who you want to share your code with! Learn new programming skills through clearly presented explanations before applying your newly developed skills within a series of easy to follow tasks, explained through written explanations as well as flowcharts and/or pseudo code. Each unit in this series is fully differentiated using Rob-Bot Resources’ unique Rookie, Pro and Beast leveling system; apply your new programming skills by completing the introductory Rookie tasks. Once you've got a grip of the basics, push yourself by completing the Pro exercises before finally testing your skills by completing the Beast scenarios. Once you have completed the practice tasks it’s time to test your skills within the differentiated programming challenges! All task and challenge coding solutions are also included. Suitable for both KS3 and KS4 classes. ***Please leave a review :) ***

Can the student become the master of the keyboard? Enter Rob-bot’s dojo and find out! Improve your student’s confidence and digital competence by learning keyboard short cuts when using office applications! The document is designed to be a useful resource to be navigated through or as a series of posters that can be printed and displayed in order to support students when learning to type and use short cuts.

The aim of this lesson is to introduce students to writing their first ever code! Students will not need to use a computer! Starter - Which job would you rather do: Formula 1 Driver or a Formula 1 Mechanic? Introduction to different types of IT users: Formula 1 Driver is the expert user of software while the Mechanic is the creator of the software. Task 1: Robots and Programmers - Get your Robot to a specific location and back using the given commands. Main task: Cup stacking - use the symbols available and create the differentiated structures as shown. For the lesson you will also need: Plastic cups Poster paper Pens to write code Print out the resource packs for each group of students. I have used this lesson for students between years 5 and 9, all of which have thoroughly enjoyed it! ***Please leave a review!***

How can you apply the concepts of computational thinking to Maths? Mathematics is full of problem solving challenges which makes computational a vital skill to help improve your maths skills! Check out my poster for a range of ideas on how to apply the concepts of computational thinking to the subject of mathematics! *Computational Thinking is a skill set that can be used across the curriculum, not just within computer science! The logical approach to solving a problem means that its application can be used to develop and improve students ability to deal with difficult problems in a more rational way. The aim of my posters is to make you realise that many of the brilliant tasks that teachers facilitate week in, week out actually include computational thinking. It’s just a matter of making it more explicit!

This poster was created to accompany the KS3 computer systems work, however is also applicable for primary computing. I have identified the key components of a computer and presented them along with real life image examples of the internal components of a computer. Please feel free to download and display on your classroom walls!
