Middle school computing resources

Many teachers were never taught the coding and computer science elements of the new curriculum themselves. This introductory activity helps teachers understand the simplicity of using algorithms as instructions to complete tasks. Teachers will learn: Algorithms and how these are simple instructions Syntax and how this is simply known action in new language Problem solving and debugging code Testing code to see if it works Teachers love this INSET introduction!

8 Lessons to teach specific game creation using the Kodu game development enviroment. all the lessons from Kodu bundle 1 plus NEW - Kodu the Dolphin - a remake of the popular 90s Ecco the dolphin. Other games include: Hungry Hippos Frogger/Crossy Road Fifa Pacman Pokemon Go Pong

A sheet for each term outlining fortnightly homework tasks for year 7 computer science. Tasks are differentiated based on their potential grades: grades 1-3, 4-6, 7-9. Can be easily adapted to fit your school’s scheme of work.

This is a 6 week scheme of work that can be used for KS3 to cover Google Sheets with an assessment at the end.

Resources for GCSE Computing course for the Data Representation topic. The Resource explains how different data is stored, so introducing data types and variables and shows how important it is to make sure the correct variables are selected by the programmer. An excel program ( input form and VBA coding) has been created for students to investigate for themselves what can go wrong in this respect.

My current year 11 students have been extremely positive about the Knowledge Organisers that I have created for their Computer Science revision (and students in previous years on the legacy spec). This resource covers database terminology; an example flatfile database; data types used in databases; example SQL commands to search a database and the results these would yield from the example table. This covers the new J276 OCR specification for GCSE Computer Science. You can either buy this knowledge organiser on its own - or all eight are available for a slightly lower overall cost. Please do leave feedback if possible, I hope you find it useful.

My current year 11 students have been extremely positive about the Knowledge Organisers that I have created for their Computer Science revision (and students in previous years on the legacy spec). This resource covers defensive design; maintainability; syntax and logic errors; iterative and terminal testing (along with a test plan). This covers the new J276 OCR specification for GCSE Computer Science. You can either buy this knowledge organiser on its own - or all eight are available for a slightly lower overall cost. Please do leave feedback if possible, I hope you find it useful.

My current year 11 students have been extremely positive about the Knowledge Organisers that I have created for their Computer Science revision (and students in previous years on the legacy spec). This resource covers high and low level languages, and their differences in a clear and concise way; Translators; IDE Tools and features of those tools; and instructions (opcode and operand). This covers the new J276 OCR specification for GCSE Computer Science. You can either buy this knowledge organiser on its own - or all eight are available for a slightly lower overall cost. Please do leave feedback if possible, I hope you find it useful.

My current year 11 students have been extremely positive about the Knowledge Organisers that I have created for their Computer Science revision (and students in previous years on the legacy spec). This resource covers data representation: images, sound, characters; measuring units; Binary, Denary, Hex conversions, binary addition, binary shifts, Compression. This covers the new J276 OCR specification for GCSE Computer Science. You can either buy this knowledge organiser on its own - or all eight are available for a slightly lower overall cost. Please do leave feedback if possible, I hope you find it useful.

My current year 11 students have been extremely positive about the Knowledge Organisers that I have created for their Computer Science revision (and students in previous years on the legacy spec). This resource covers the main terms of Computational Thinking; pseudocode and flow charts (and how to apply these); and sub programs. This covers the new J276 OCR specification for GCSE Computer Science. You can either buy this knowledge organiser on its own - or all eight are available for a slightly lower overall cost. Please do leave feedback if possible, I hope you find it useful.

My current year 11 students have been extremely positive about the Knowledge Organisers that I have created for their Computer Science revision (and students in previous years on the legacy spec). This resource covers sort and search algorithms, including the basic instructions for each; the advantages and disadvantages of each; how to write the stages of each and how to write the pseudocode for the “simpler” ones. This covers the new J276 OCR specification for GCSE Computer Science. You can either buy this knowledge organiser on its own - or all eight are available for a slightly lower overall cost. Please do leave feedback if possible, I hope you find it useful.
