Wall display showing the content from 8525 Computer Science AQA GCSE. Summary of each topic with related content listed with each page. Printable and editable.

A full set of revision mind maps covering all of the key content for the AQA GCSE Computer Science course. Large parts of this also apply to other exam board specifications. Features 90 separate slides covering topics such as algorithms, logic, binary representation, hexadecimal, encryption/huffman coding/runtime encoding, hardware/software, ethics etc.

This excel and word document combination is designed to be used to allow you to track and monitor the progress of students as you navigate through the theory elements of the AQA GCSE Computer Science (9 to 1) specification. In the word document there is a space for the students to note down their level of confidence with each of the points off the specification, there is also space for them to update this level of confidence as you revise/go over topics with them. The excel document gives the teacher the opportunity to enter a value of between 1 and 10 for each point on the specification to allow you to track the progress of the students with each part of the theory topics. It will break down each point on the specification and will show you roughly what percentage they have attained for each section of the theory course. It will also provide a working at grade (this is just calculated from all of the percentage understanding values from each section). UPDATE: 30/09/2018 - This resource now also includes an alternate version of the tracker to be used as a “Personalised Learning Checklist” with spaces for both the student and teacher to make comments. The “Book Chapters” mentioned on the PLC reference the AQA Computer Science for GCSE Students textbook by Hodder (Sean O’Byrne, George Rouse).

A PPT I have made that covers every topic in the AQA 9-1 GCSE Computer Science specification (8525). Each topic is covered with key points for revision. There are regular checkpoints for assessment with questions to check student knowledge. 79 slides in total. This version is an updated copy of a previously published resource of mine, now including almost everything you need for the updated 8525 specification. Answers to checkpoints have been included in the notes on the slides.

This is the third in a series of pseudocode lessons (based on AQA pseudocode) that have helped my GCSE classes improve their long answer pseudocode technique. The lessons built up towards working with 2D arrays etc in time for the exams. Included is the exam-style question, mark scheme and the powerpoint used to help deliver a lesson building up towards answering the longer pseudocode question. The powerpoint includes information about pseudocode as well as some warm up pseudocode questions. Some of the powerpoints include theory as well, for example arrays or string handling if necessary to answer the longer pseudocode question.

This pack consists of 13 end of topic tests that can be used to support your delivery of the course. In addition, the topic test bundle also contains a mark scheme for each test. Unit 3.1 – 1 Test Unit 3.2 – 2 Tests Unit 3.3 – 1 Test Unit 3.4 – 4 Tests Unit 3.5 - 2 Test Unit 3.6 – 1 Test Unit 3.7 – 1 Test Unit 3.8 – 1 Test

This is the eighth in a series of pseudocode lessons (based on AQA pseudocode) that have helped my GCSE classes improve their long answer pseudocode technique. The lessons built up towards working with 2D arrays etc in time for the exams. Included is the exam-style question, mark scheme and the powerpoint used to help deliver a lesson building up towards answering the longer pseudocode question. The powerpoint includes information about pseudocode as well as some warm up pseudocode questions. Some of the powerpoints include theory as well, for example arrays or string handling if necessary to answer the longer pseudocode question.

These questions are used to help students practice longer Python coding questions that they will encounter in GCSE exams. The pseudocode style where included is based on AQA, and each question comes with a mark scheme showing where marks are scored. Again, this is based around AQA’s mark schemes (i.e. awarding marks for including selection, for example). This set contains 8 programming questions and mark schemes for each. In separate uploads I have the powerpoint used in lessons to help deliver specific lessons which build up towards answering the longer programming questions in this set. The order I used them (with the intent of increasing difficulty as we went along): 1 - Phone Bill Calculator 2 - Note Changer 3 - Swimming Pool 4 - Guessing Game 5 - Substrings and functions 6 - Sports Day (function) 7 - Linear Search Array 8 - Inverting Image (2D array)

The resource has been created for students studying A Level Computer Science. Unpacks the SubnetMasking topic and reviews and examination questions from June2018 AQA Paper 2.

Here are some examples of AQA Pseudocode for the Computer Science GCSE. Some of the Pseudocode has been taken from the AQA guide, while others have been created. This resource is free, so please use it as you see fit. I created this document in a short period of time to prepare my students for their Mocks. If you find any errors, please let me know and I will upload a corrected version.

This slideshow contains questions that relate directly to the specification for the AQA Computer Science GCSE. The questions target the students ability to recall, explain and justify their answering for each specification point of the course. By the end students should will have an excellent revision tool to help them during their exams for all 8 units.

This Powerpoint is a resource which I have made available to all GCSE students - it is based around the AQA pseudocode guide and compares each instruction to VB.NET commands. This is not something I have spent much lesson time on, but it could be used as an introduction to pseudocode for new GCSE classes.

Revision Guide I created for my classes. Exam board is AQA, the course is the GCSE in ICT. I tried to fit 1 topic per page, but some topics went slightly over that. Feedback from students is very positive so far. Hope this helps your classes too.
