A place to share some of the resources I have made for Computer Science and Maths. Primarily focused on assessment and curriculum resources for GCSE Computer Science where I feel there is a shortage of good quality material available.

This is an activity lesson I made to promote STEM / Computing / Maths.
The activity involves the students working in groups to design, market and calculate costings for their own smartphones.
It is a highly engaging activity getting students thinking about the key aspects including engineering decisions, financial calculations and helps develop managerial skills.
Content includes choosing components for their phones, branding it, choosing materials, creating scale drawings, creating a promotional poster and presenting back to the class. It could easily be used as a whole year group event in a hall or similar venue, or on a smaller scale in lessons.
It was originally pitched for year 9 students, but would be suitable for 8 and 10, and high ability year 7s.
Comes with a powerpoint with key instructions, but focuses around the pack of worksheets which I print 2 to a page and give out 1 between 4.
This is an activity lesson I made to promote STEM / Computing / Maths.
The activity involves 3 activities linking maths and computing. The first looks at potential roles involving STEM and is designed to raise awareness and aspirations for students. This is a card matchup that I printed out and cut up for students to try to match. The second looks at Boolean logic and logic circuits. The final activity involves the use of Formulae and Pythagoras in calculating damage in a video game. There is a worksheet for this activity too.
It is designed to last around an hour.

The activity involves 3 festive themed activites with links to STEM/Computing/Maths. In the first, students look at flowcharts to represent the workflow at the northpole. In the second, students write basic code to navigate a grid and in the final activity students use binary strings to construct Christmas bitmap images.
