A crucial unit that completes the Component 3 content for the January 2020 exam and will provide the higher-order thinking for L2M/L2D. This unit looks at the different forms of notation, with examples of each form of notation required for the exam - skills needed: how business use them, how to interpret them and how to present them.

OCR GCSE Computer Science - Revision Resource for Independent Study: Memory Joggers and Explain [3] questions for Paper 1 Computer Systems and Paper 2 Computational Thinking and Algorithms.

Using musical instruments in class for the ‘beat’, I have created a summary revision lesson on the main content for the Unit 2 online Business Finance exam. With definitions, examples and some common points that may be useful in the ‘explain’ questions, this is a final revision before mock practice (prior to the exam). Thanks for taking an interest in this resource. I hope it helps if you purchase it.

A simple spreadsheet lesson to develop independence in completing tasks in Excel. Great for a cover lesson.

Supporting the NEW EdExcel BTEC Tech Award BTEC Tech Award in Digital Information Technology Personalised Learning Checklists for Component 1 (+ Component 1 Assessment), Component 2 (+ Component 2 Assessment) and Component 3. Keep a record of student progress against the new syllabus content (1 - Grasped concept, 2 - need to revise, 3 - Did not understand (complete revisit). Ideal for completing after interim assessment, and will allow easy identification of areas for further teaching and intervention.

I have trialled the teaching of BTEC TA Digital Information Technology during 2017/2018 and have produced the attached ‘placemats’ to ensure that students understand the key skills required for LAB/C and the knowledge required for the research task in Component A. Either print double-sided, laminate or simply display/view on screen. On side A is the LAA theory looking at sectors of industry. On side B is the LAB/C skills in Excel. I have used them laminated, 1 between 2 and supported the Excel element with short tasks that teach students the skills as listed in the specification. I hope these can be of help to you and your students. Thanks for taking an interest in this resource.

GCSE Computer Science 9-1 This is the assessment I will be using with my Year 9 end of year assessment. Assessment on modules covered so far: Unit 1: Systems Architecture - Von Neumann Architecture, Components of the CPU. Software – operating system, system software, application software Memory – ROM, RAM, Virtual Memory, Flash Memory Storage – storage types, data capacity Unit 2: Algorithms - Binary search and merge sorting. Translators & Facilitators - Low Level Language, Assembly Language and High Level Language. Programming Concepts Unit 3: Sequence Selection Iteration Count control Teacher assessment criteria (Low Ability - LAP, Medium Ability - MAP, High Ability-HAP) Full solution to test, marking grid (for teacher analysis), as well as teacher PowerPoint to display during test (differentiated).

GCSE Computer Science - Programming Techniques : LO1: The use of records to store data LO2: The use of SQL to search for data Using the subject matter of a Year 11 Computer Science class, students learn how to create a table in a database, how to add individual records, how to add multiple records and then how to search for records. The extension task is then to create a database on a topic of their choice using the programming techniques shown in the walk-through-talk-through example. This lesson comes complete with notepad copies of the Python code with and without comments (just copy and paste code into Python).

With Computing, students come with a varying degrees of experience from primary so we have selected an ICT skill which all should be able to demonstrate skills so we can get an initial picture. The structure of the test is based on the KS4 model which I am introducing from the outset in KS3 as 'Computing de Facto standards'.

Revision of stakeholder theory prior to attempting the EdExcel Controlled Assessment task.

Differentiated self-assessment sheets for the main units in the new OCR GCSE Computer Science 9-1. Gauge the progress of students against their ability - Low Ability Pupils (LAP), Middle Ability Pupils (MAP), High Ability Pupils (HAP) and Most Able pupils (MA). Use as a progress check for students, and as a check for teachers that they are covering the content outlined in the OCR GCSE Computer Science 9-1 specification.

Exam Technique Exercises - The growth of a business. 4 marks in 4 minutes, then peer or self assess against modeled answers.

Incorporate functional skills into the new KS3 Computing curriculum - essential transferable skills for use in other curriculum areas. This scheme of work and self-assessment checklist, will help develop students report writing skills in Microsoft Word, ready for use in KS4 controlled assessment write-up.

Let’s Do It Activities Designed as lesson starters for component 2, this free resource is from the Algorithm set. 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.

Memory Joggers to help students think about the long QWC questions. Use the card size memory jogger for a carousel paired activity, and then use the questions as a follow on written activity. I hope this resource can assist in final revision for the Unit 2 Business Finance exam. Good luck.
