This resource includes a printable A3 mind map/revision mat for the A-Level Year 1 AQA specification, covering Unit 1. This was designed for my students as a general overview of each of the topics to allow for last-minute revision and to identify areas of weakness and strength. This can either be set as a independent activity or used in class as a group work activity. If you’ve found this resource helpful, revision mats are now available in bundles: Year 1 (AS-level) only: https://www.tes.com/teaching-resource/printable-revision-mats-for-aqa-a-level-business-studies-year-1-12104002 Year 1 and Year 2 (Entire A-level): https://www.tes.com/teaching-resource/revision-mats-a-level-business-studies-aqa-12104303 Year 2 only: https://www.tes.com/teaching-resource/printable-revision-mats-for-aqa-a-level-business-studies-year-2-12104293 The resource comes as a PDF document containing Unit 1 of the AQA course - What is Business?

A simple denary-binary and binary-denary task that can be given to students to allow them to develop understanding and reinforce methods by practicing calculations. Calculations are given in a variety of formats, for example a match-up exercise and a construction grid where 1s correspond to black and 0s correspond to white. This is a fun exercise where students have to translate from denary to binary, to reveal an image, and the last question involves a grid where students can construct their own images and share during the next lesson, getting each other to form these. This is suitable for a GCSE level, however, can be used to challenge G/T students in KS3 and used as a introduction to test understanding at a more advanced AS Level. The answers to this homework task are included in a separate word document.

33 cards containing a name of a generic product, and an accompanying picture. These can be used to develop the students understanding about the difference between a good and service, and are designed to fit A4 page so they can be printed and/or laminated easily. Lesson ideas include: - Printing and asking students in small groups or individually to cut out each and match these into two piles; services and goods. These can then be stuck on large sheets of sugar paper - As a starter activity where students are asked to split the class up into two depending on whether the card they are given at the start of the lesson is a good or service. - Cutting out and putting in a bag, folded, and ask students to describe the product on the card without using the explicit name. The rest of the class have to guess what the product is, and whether this is a good or service. This would be a good starter or plenary task to help build on lesson understanding. These cards are suitable for a KS3 introductory lesson, all the way through GCSE and A-level to act as a starter activity, and can be easily adapted for use in taster sessions. They are relevant to the new AS and A level business 7131/7132 specification, and can be used for teaching the new GCSE 8132. Included: 33x small printable cards, with a white background, picture and label, at a fit of 3x4 to a page, spanning 3 pages. The downloadable file after purchase is a word document in portrait view.

A simple denary-hexadecimal and hexadecimal-denary task that can be given to students to allow them to develop understanding and reinforce methods by practicing calculations. Calculations are given in a variety of formats, for example a match-up exercise and constructing words out of hexadecimal letters which are converted from their denary equivalent. This is suitable for a GCSE level, however, can be used to challenge G/T students in KS3 and used as a introduction to test understanding at a more advanced AS Level. The answers to this homework task are included in a separate word document.

This learning pack contains: - Two easy-to-follow question pages, of varying difficulty. These involve square-grid reflection, where students can colour in the reflected shape on the opposite side of the mirror line. (word document) - An engaging 'reflect the first letter of your name' exercise' which helps students to understand the concept of reflection along the mirror line. (word document) - A slightly harder 'reflect the picture of the house' sheet, which is in full colour and allows students to explore reflection through the use of colour (word document) - A mini white board sheet containing a blank set of reflection squares and a mirror line in the centre which can be given either to students to practice questions as a laminated sheet or put on the interactive white board for the purpose of demonstration. (powerpoint presentation and word document)

A set of printable cards, which are in sets of Denary, Binary, and Hex, and correspond to each other. This means that the cards can be used for a ‘matching’ type activity, where cards have to be put in the groups, and encourages students to convert between the alternating types. The cards are matched to be one per page, which means that cards can be printed in any way necessary, however these cards are designed to be printed out small, for example 9 per page. These cards can be used throughout school, but are suited to meet the National Curriculum KS3, GCSE Computing for example OCR and AQA, and even as a starter activity in 6th form for A Level Computing or IT courses.

A selection of three resources which can be used to help aid the teaching of the CISC vs RISC section of the OCR course. Included: 1.) A powerpoint from which a lesson can be planned, which includes: - What are CISC and RISC? - What are the differences between CISC and RISC? - The uses of RISC and CISC 2.) A quick 5 minute knowledge-check questions which can be used as a plenary activity to reinforce knowledge. These are simple questions such as "State one advantage, and one disadvantage for using a CISC processor". If the student does not know one of these areas, this hilights an area for further teaching. 3.) A PDF containing match-up cards. These can be used to develop understanding of the differences between CISC and RISC, for example - Using a matching-up exercise type activity in pairs or small groups - Cutting out or putting in a 'blind-bag', where students have to describe a processor characteristic before other members of the class guess. Disclaimer: These resources are made the best possible to match the OCR specification, but this is not guaranteed. They can also be adapted to other specs such as AQA.

A quick homework tasks giving a short explanation about binary alongside 5 questions from Binary --> Denary/Decimal, and 5 questions Denary/Decimal --> Binary. Answers included Can be used with KS3, GCSE or A LEVEL. Answers included on a separate document.

This resource is a placemat in a word document format which can be laminated to make a mini-white-board, which can be used for practicing binary calculations. It contains a simple table with the binary table on. The resource can also be printed as 'note handout', which fits multiple tables to each page. This can be used as a space to answer binary questions in a logical format. This resource is appropriate for secondary education, for example KS3, and can be carried through to GCSE and A Level Computer Science/Computing. Some examples of specifications that this can be related to: OCR H046/H446 (7516 7517 AQA) OCR J276 GCSE / AQA 8520 KS3 National Curriculum Computer Science.
