Students will understand the term ‘programming’ whilst using Kodu. Students will use Kodu to create a world and program Kodu to move. Students will then design and create their own game whilst providing evidence. Lesson One-Six Kodu Lesson Seven Revision Lesson Eight Assessment Lesson Nine Feedback and Improvements This unit has a lesson presentation for every lesson that includes a starter activity, main activity and plenary. Resources also include homework, worksheets, helpsheets and an overall assessment sheet that can be used for self, peer and teacher assessment. A full Scheme of Work is also provided. This unit of work is suitable from Years 6-8 depending on ability.

Based around an introduction to algorithms, a total of 5 lessons are included in this package. Aimed at GCSE Computer Science, the 5 lessons are aimed at promoting an introduction to algorithms using decomposition. Every lesson comes complete with a teachers PowerPoint, iterative starter activities, lesson resources and an ‘Independent Learning Time’ section (this is aimed at allowing students to work independently to consolidate their understanding). Answers to flowchart and pseudo code tasks are included on the PowerPoints. Lesson 1: Introduction to algorithms using flowcharts, starts off with basic flowcharts based on easy scenarios and builds up to looking back at sound storage and representing this process as a flowchart. Lesson 2: Looking at more complex flowcharts to represent algorithms, focusing more on selection and iteration within algorithms. Independent Learning Activity includes exam questions for students to decompose problems and represent as flowcharts. Lesson 3: The focus of this lesson is to allow students time to work independently at solving complex algorithms as flowcharts. Using sequencing, selection and iteration a range of exam questions are included. Class activities are included beforehand to recap the learning of flowcharts. Lesson 4: An introduction to pseudo code - links the understanding of what pseudo code is to Python code which students may have come across beforehand from their NEA. Different examples of how code should be constructed are included. Several flowcharts are included on the PowerPoint which students then need to turn into pseudo code. Sequencing and selection are focused upon in this lesson. Lesson 5: Developing students understanding further using sequencing, selection and iteration. WHILE loops are demonstrated of how to construct a loop in pseudo code. Students will spend their time working on problems and trying to decompose these into pseudo code. Extension questions are included for the HAL students / students needing extra or more challenging work.

This challenge was based on my free maths murder massacre resource. Thanks for all the downloads and feedback. This version features a new mystery for students to solve using mathematics, non-verbal reasoning & computing skills (cryptography). It is the night of the Celebrity awards, however aTrophy has gone missing. A celebrity has made off with it in a getaway vehicle to a top-secret location and posted a Selfie on Twitter & Instagram of his ill-gotten gains. Can you solve the mystery? Features well known celebrities, popular getaway vehicles and the latest mobile that all students will know and love. I’ve made it accessible for key stage 2 and 3 students (may be a little to easy for KS4), and packaged it as a presentation as well as including pdf versions so it can be distributed. All funds raised by the sale of this resource will be donated to the NSPCC

Hi there! One of my biggest packs of resources for you. Last week's maths lessons in my class were centered around position, direction and linking this to clockwise/anticlockwise, quarter/3 quarter/half turns and linking this to right angles. Lots of work on new vocabulary: horizontal vertical perpendicular clockwise anticlockwise quarter turn half turn 3 quarter turn full turn right angles Let me know if you need anything extra or anything explaining :) Miss Ritchie x

Included is a presentation reviewing the Bubble Sort method, and an interactive Excel activity that can is self-marking and can give students immediate feedback. There is also a help sheet for anyone who has missed the Bubble Sort theory or needs help with the activities, and differentiated instructions for writing a Bubble Sort program (I used Visual Basic but the code hints could be adapted to another language quickly). I have also included the lesson plan that I used for a lesson observation. There are notes on AfL and differentiation included in the plan.

This reference card will help students and teachers find programming blocks in Scratch. The more commonly used areas are in bold.

These worksheets have been created for CS Education week, for the Hour of Code, but can be used for a computing activity throughout the year. Students as young as Year 4 (8-year olds) can be given this to work on (and maybe younger!) I like the CS Unplugged activities but have remixed the worksheets so they’re shorter and more ‘student-ready’. I have also added MS Excel versions for one of the image representation tasks. This is great to use particularly when differentiating. (The worksheets are available on another account which also belongs to me.)

A visual guide to setup MIT App Inventor and description of tools available.

This is a worksheet for children (year 5 or 6) to use as an introduction to the free programming program 'Scratch'. They can use this at their own pace, and it leaves you free to help those who need it.
