The set, on sale for £4, shows the sort/search methods in the 9-1 specification, illustrated through worked examples and a suggested approach to three practice questions that students can work on independently.
In my lessons, I will have a folder with the solutions in so that students can self-mark once they have completed the activity.
Thanks for interest in this resource.
A workbook covering the whole of the AQA GCSE Computer Science course. Each section has a combination of theory and questions. In class we use it to help students struture their notes and all students are provided with the workbook at the start of the year.
Depending on your version of Word, occasionally the formatting may be slightly off-kilter with some information jumping between pages. So it is worth double checking before it goes to print - I learnt that the hard way!
I have created a SOW that goes into two strands.
One for practical (programming) and one for theory. What I do is deliver theory one week and practical the next.
