This is the accumulation of years of teaching and revision strategies and hours or tweaking. I have made a workbook with answers which will prepare any students for the J277 OCR COmputer Science Component 2 paper. Each section has quick tasks aimed at getting students to recap their knowledge. This is currently used by all students to see where they need to spend time revising. Then there are 10 much wider questions which is aimed at deepening the students’ understanding. The questions are tiered in difficulty. These all have model answers. There are then example exam questions with answers There is also a coding section with tasks aimed at getting students to practice the programming skills they could be asked to demonstrate in the exam. Again each program has a model answer. I’m happy to make any further amendments if there is something specific you need, please message me on here. I will also be making a Paper 1 version.

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

DESCRIPTION Drawing on my experience as a student who achieved an A* in GCSE Computer Science, and who continues to study computing at a college level, with an extensive analysis of notes, mark schemes and examiner reports, I’ve created a revision booklet that cover every expectation for the Computer Science subject on the Edexcel (and some OCR) specification. These notes are presented in an easy-to-use revision note, then question format. Colour coding, diagrams and a simple layout makes learning easy. Having refined these over my final years in high school, I’ve seen first-hand the results they can achieve. I’m confident that they will be an invaluable tool to you. TOPICS INCLUDED (ANALYSIS & INFORMATION) Logic and Truth Tables Programming Languages Binary Systems Data Representation Computer Networks Software Development Data Storage & Compression Network Security & Cybersecurity Computer Hardware Programming Theory Ethical, Legal, and Environmental Issues

Recently remade specifically for J277! I have created revision mats/knowledge organisers for all topics in the OCR Computer Science GCSE (J277). I have found them particularly handy as homework for a topic or as a recap when finished the delivery of a topic. These are designed 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 mats too. Enjoy!

Based around an introduction to algorithms, a total of 5 lessons are included in this package. Aimed at GCSE Computer Science, the 5 lessons are aimed at promoting an introduction to algorithms using decomposition. Every lesson comes complete with a teachers PowerPoint, iterative starter activities, lesson resources and an ‘Independent Learning Time’ section (this is aimed at allowing students to work independently to consolidate their understanding). Answers to flowchart and pseudo code tasks are included on the PowerPoints. Lesson 1: Introduction to algorithms using flowcharts, starts off with basic flowcharts based on easy scenarios and builds up to looking back at sound storage and representing this process as a flowchart. Lesson 2: Looking at more complex flowcharts to represent algorithms, focusing more on selection and iteration within algorithms. Independent Learning Activity includes exam questions for students to decompose problems and represent as flowcharts. Lesson 3: The focus of this lesson is to allow students time to work independently at solving complex algorithms as flowcharts. Using sequencing, selection and iteration a range of exam questions are included. Class activities are included beforehand to recap the learning of flowcharts. Lesson 4: An introduction to pseudo code - links the understanding of what pseudo code is to Python code which students may have come across beforehand from their NEA. Different examples of how code should be constructed are included. Several flowcharts are included on the PowerPoint which students then need to turn into pseudo code. Sequencing and selection are focused upon in this lesson. Lesson 5: Developing students understanding further using sequencing, selection and iteration. WHILE loops are demonstrated of how to construct a loop in pseudo code. Students will spend their time working on problems and trying to decompose these into pseudo code. Extension questions are included for the HAL students / students needing extra or more challenging work.

Pack includes a scheme of work with lesson objectives and lesson overview and how these lessons fit into and satisfy the new National Curriculum for Computing. Ideal resource for non-specialists to follow, or for a specialist to pick up and run with. Feel free to adapt the resources as needed. All lessons are ready to teach. Year 8 and Year 9 packs also available, as is a bundle of all three.

62 x 1 hour lessons that cover the entire course! Including some great lessons on tricky topics such as Networks, Logic Gates, Binary/Hex and writing code. Entire set of lessons planned on PowerPoint for both paper 1 and paper 2 of GCSE OCR Computer Science (will benefit other exam boards as well). This is planned for the new spec J277 released for this coming year. Each unit has in-depth lessons planned, in font OpenDyslexic, on SEND friendly background, and with clear Bell Works / Objectives & Outcomes / content tasks to learn / exam questions to practice. There are no logos on any of the PPTs and there are well over 2000 slides of information here. I planned these during 2018-19 and progress in the subject at my new school went from -0.05 to +0.41 in a year! Predictions for this year were record breaking again at ~+0.8! The attainment was also the highest the school had ever had, and we had a very large mixed ability cohort in both years. These lessons able you to read over them for 5 minutes then off you go teaching, with only your pointer needed. Example answers to the questions are given to aid students with effective modelling - showing exactly where the marks are gained. For the more challenging content recap sessions are in-built for the following lesson. Note: 1.6 only has 1 lesson on laws - the rest of the lessons on ethics etc are covered in class by a series of videos (not able to include these) and discussions - I have found this more useful when revising the topic in year 11 and students have done similar topics in other subjects (RS etc). The content is as follows: - 1.1 - 4 lesson PPTs - 1.2 - 13 lesson PPTs - 1.3 - 13 lesson PPTs - 1.4 - 3 lesson PPTs - 1.5 - 3 lesson PPTs - 1.6 - 1 lesson PPT - 2.1 - 9 lesson PPTs - 2.2 - 8 lesson PPTs - 2.3 - 3 lesson PPTs - 2.4 - 3 lesson PPTs - 2.5 - 2 lesson PPTs All are very clearly labelled and numbered to keep them in order. You will not be disappointed! But you will save a huge amount of time!!!
