This is the entire theoretical side computer science course, broken down into short concise revision notes. Allowing students to summaries, consolidate, and solidify knowledge. Acting as an intermediate between conventional revision cards and revision guides, it acts as a comparable revision aid blending both the advantages of a revision guide (longer, more in-depth knowledge) and revision notes (easy, learnable, portable last stop) Attached, is both the pdf and the ppt of each section. From 1-6, based on the categories given in the specification materials: Topic 1: Problem solving Topic 2: Programming Topic 3: Data Topic 4: Computers Topic 5: Communication and the internet Topic 6: The bigger picture As Topic 1 & 2 (CS1&2) is heavily practical based, much of the content/specification points have been left as this resource mainly focuses on the theory and less so practical content.

This is a document of command words used for the IGCSE ICT exam with descriptions, examples and connectives to help write answers. It is mapped against the 9-1 grading, so students can see what level questions they are working on. Great to stick this document at the front of exercise books, so students can refer to it throughout the year, to help develop exam writing skills.

The papers have been written to replicate the style of Edexcel examinations. These papers provide students with an opportunity to familiarise themselves with the look and feel of an Edexcel paper. Python is the programming language used. The digital pack includes: · two practice papers for Principles of Computer Science (Paper 1) · two practice papers for Application of Computational Thinking (Paper 2) – Included with these papers are Python files for access by students during the exam and a complete set of Python file solutions. The papers combined cover all aspects of the computer science curriculum. You will also receive a comprehensive mark scheme for each paper.

This series of resources is aimed at being delivered over a series of 2-3 lessons. In the first lesson I go through the lesson content and provide students with the chunking words for the lesson and the associated 'exam questions' for homework. Chunking section - this is a selection of 3-7 words is subject specific terminology that I assess in a range of different ways: spelling tests; word searches; crosswords; online quizzes; diagnostic questions etc. The idea being that students can learn and retain a small number of words/meanings or data at any one time. This is based on the educational research concept of: Herbert Simon http://www.human-memory.net/types_short.html Lesson content - This worksheets covers the topic: Responsible Use. I can supply accompanying PowerPoints on request free of charge, but I don't want to put these up here as I have worked on producing them with my colleague. This package of work and worksheets can be used as teaching and learning resources of as revision activities with individuals, small and large groups - targeting misconceptions through appropriate intervention. Homework - the homework is based on examination questions from past paper exam and the course revision book. The questions are used with permission from Edexcel and Pearson. At the foot of each homework is the opportunity to feedback to the students in the form of percentage achieved, grade (in relation to target grade) and written feedback. I set a 'MAD (Make A Difference) Time' activity for each piece of work in the form of an intervention or extension task.
