Recently remade for J277! I have created revision cards for all topics in the OCR Computer Science GCSE (J277). These are used by my current Year 11 Cohort, they have found them quite effective as support tools in lessons and revision at home. I allow students to use them whilst answering question in lesson so that they are focusing on exam techniques whilst absorbing the subject knowledge too. I have created a revision wall by printing each card in A3 and arranging it on the wall. Students can consult the wall if they are stuck. All the cards have been designed to be printed double sided on the short edge, This is so that the topic name is on the back. All cards are using the ‘OpenDyslexic’ font, this can be seen on the PDF’s. Formatting may differ on the publisher document if you do not have the font installed. This pack consists of the original publisher file as well as a PDF of all the cards too. I have also created a PDF of each set of cards that represent each separate paper of the OCR course. Enjoy! UPDATE# I have added the Pseudocode Programming Techniques page, to match up with the Question Cards

This lesson introduces students to using operators such as Add, Subtract, Multiply, Divide and Exponentiation. They're also introduced to Mod (working out the remainder) and Quotient (working out the whole number). They're given a number of activities which allow them to apply some of this and will attempt working out the median and mean. After this they're given an activity which gets them to work with the OCR structure. They're required to decompose a problem, list success criteria and build a sleep calculator. They will need to list their variables and on top of this will also need to show the development of their code. The worksheet can be typed in. All operations are explained: - num1+num2 num1-num2 num1*num2 num1/num2 num1**num2 for exponent % used to explain remainder // used to explain whole number part of division Students given extension task / independent research task for finding out the mode.
