1CP2 Python Practical Programming Exam Skills GCSE (9–1) Computer Science 2020. A collection of all the Practical Python Skills needed to complete the GCSE Computer Science Practical Exam for EdExcel. The resource combines example Python code with brief explanations of what they are doing. The resource is simple and will aid teachers in covering the entire specification for Python Programming confidently. It would be a good resource for teachers to practice before delivering Python to students. It would also be a good resource for enabling independent students to ensure they have secure knowledge in each aspect of Python Programming on their own. Members of staff that don’t have time to learn Python in their own time will benefit from being able to see clear practical examples of Python Programming. Everything a student needs to know to be a success in the programming exam

This is aimed at parents and teachers to help them understand the keywords and concepts in Computational Thinking. This professional quality presentation is ideal for parent workshops and professional training of primary teachers. Concepts covered include, Algorithms, decomposition, logic, patterns, abstraction and evaluation. (Basic Chinese is supplied to help Chinese parents, but can easily be removed)

Complete exam technique lesson to help GCSE computer science students boost their grades. Do you feel your students know their computer science theory but are worried they still need a little extra help on understanding how to answer the exam questions to get the highest marks possible? Fear not, help is at hand. This stand-alone lesson introduces your pupils to common exam terminology so they feel more prepared in understand exactly what type of answers the questions require to get the top marks available. It gives them plenty or practice in answering a variety of questions including a min exam paper you can set as a homework task or during a second lesson. Buy this resource now and give your students the opportunity of gaining a few more valuable points. This can mean the difference between getting the grades they need or possibly missing out just because they didn’t know how to answer one particular type of question. What is included? This complete lesson includes : a 29-slide PowerPoint presentation (editable) 1-page PDF teacher’s lesson plan (not-editable) 1-page PDF algorithms question handout (not-editable) 2-page PDF mini exam paper (not-editable) . Please note: This lesson was created specifically for the OCR GCSE Computer Science (J277) and AQA GCSE Computer Science (8525) exams and will help your pupils feel more prepared for their exams. How can it be used? The exam preparation PowerPoint presentation is best used during your computer science exam revision lessons. Use the PowerPoint presentation along with the class working through all the exam practice activities together. You can either set the mini exam paper as a homework task and mark it together the next lesson or even let them mark it themselves.

Each organiser contains key words, key skills and key knowledge. These are great for student revision, or as teaching aids for staff to be aware of the breadth of the module. Thanks, Toby Watkins

Advanced programming resources for teaching IGCSE + GCSE Computer Science and beyond This is also useful for anyone teaching IB Computer Science using Visual Basic 8 individual ‘activities’ with advanced challenges for each. More than 8 lessons work once I build in introduction, designing of the code and plenary reviews at end of lessons. Taking our time to build up skills, do traces on the code etc, each takes (or could take) three lessons to thoroughly cover the knowledge

NOTE: This is a free version of the first of a new set of worksheets I have developed. These worksheets take a long time to develop, and I feel they offer a really good opportunity for students to consolidate and extend their learning of a topic. Try this one for free, then see if you like them enough to buy the rest in the series at £3 each for an unlimited use teacher license. This Enhanced Learning Worksheet focuses on Computational Thinking, specifically Computational Thinking Concepts and representing algorithms using Flowcharts. These new Enhanced Learning Worksheet are designed to give students more opportunity to consolidate and extend their understanding of all the key topics in GCSE Computer Science. They feature a series of scaffolded questions, followed by a page of extend / challenge questions where the scaffold has been removed and/or the difficulty level ramped up. I developed these worksheets not to be another test, quiz or assessment (please see my module quizzes if you are interested in this), but instead are platforms for students to practice key skills during lessons. As such, answers are provided but not individual mark allocation. I will be using these worksheets 3 times each in the delivery of my AQA Computer Science course - first as an in-lesson worksheet, second as a spaced retrieval task a month or two later and finally as an end of year 11 revision resource.

Not sure where to start with the Declarative Programming Paradigm? This PowerPoint was designed for the Cambridge A2 Computer Science course although it’s applicable to other exam boards as well. Use this presentation as a starting point. Covers terminology associated with the declarative programming paradigm.
