(Greg Reid has written two Computing text books for the Scottish education system. His resources are used in thousands of schools all over the world.) Five intermediate level worksheets that teach the specialist skills of computer drawing using shapes (known as vectors). These colourful, professional resources cover cutting shapes in two, adding effects like transparency, shadows or filters and how to add clip art from Serif's built in gallery. Worksheet II introduces students to nodes, allowing them to potentially create as complicated a shape or drawing as they wish. Previously these resources had an average rating of 5. Previous comments are shown below: "Thank you for sharing these fab resources!" "Just what I needed to introduce Serif Drawplus to my students, thank you!" "Great resource, thank you :)" "Fantastic resource - thank you so much for sharing!" Basic and Advanced worksheets are also available.

This is a simple homework that may be used with a variety of ages that covers: Cut, Copy Paste Bullet Points Text Wrap Clip Art Inserting Graphics The 2 page homework is entirely self contained providing the theory notes on one side and questions on the other. This would also make the homework a perfect resources for cover work when staff are absent. All graphics used in the homework are copyright free clipart or produced by myself.

A getting to know you activity for new Computing Science classes. Pupils have to circulate and find the names of pupils who... "own an 8Gb Flash Drive" "can say who their ISP is" and so on. There are 19 Computing related facts or questions on the sheet. Once completed the class can discuss what they have learned about each other (and about Computing). Works really well in class. Have fun!

Students are provided a scenario with four parallel arrays where each array stores the air pressure of a car tyre (front left, back right etc). Each question asks students to write code to solve a stated problem. Answers require that students write: find maximum - code that finds the largest value in an array find minimum - code that finds the smallest value in an array linear search - code that traverses an array looking for values count occurrence - code that count the number of times values are found in an array. The questions get progressively harder. Although many programming languages contain functions to carry out some or all of the above, knowing how to code these algorithms aids code understanding and gives students the ability to write alternative versions of each algorithm. Marking Instructions and a completed Python program with the solutions are supplied. The questions are suitable for any programming language your students may be familiar with. The marking instructions could be adapted for solutions in different languages. These could also be turned into practical tasks by providing a partial program that sets up the data in the arrays.

These exercises were written to solve that familiar problem of; “what homework do I give during practical lessons like programming?”. In this series of questions students are asked to consider small programming problems and design solutions using pseudocode or a programming language of their choice. Homework 7 of 10 includes questions on: - Functions - Procedures - Parameter Passing - Reading Data From a Text File - Algorithm – Linear Search - Array of Records Three marking schemes give answers in: 1. Pseudocode 2. Python 3. Visual Basic Python and Visual Basic Solutions are also supplied to use when demonstrating/discussing solutions. My students found this a very helpful aid to their understanding of program structures and problem solving. Questions 1-5 are available to purchase as a bundle.

A generic programming question for use with any programming language. Suitable as classwork or as a homework exercise to accompany a practical programming course.

Make your lessons fun with Computational Thinking! Structured Query Language is a programming language used to manipulate information stored in databases. As with all programming languages the best way to learn its functions is through solving problems. In this series of fun worksheets (or possible homework sheets) are sets of problems that are solved by writing or interpreting SQL instructions. Students must either predict the output of SQL instructions or calculate the SQL that must have been used to produce some given output from a database. Set 1 includes an explanation of the uses of SEARCH, FROM and WHERE functions followed by 5 pages of questions. This style of learning is very well received by students who "love solving the problems".

Ever wished you could write resources that looked like they could have been professionally written? This staff tutorial teaches the skills and techniques required to create colourful, professional looking resources quickly. If you'd like to sell resources yourself or simply improve your own classroom resources this download is a great place to start. Today’s pupils live in a world where they are surrounded by colourful, interactive content which is literally at their fingertips. It should come as no surprise then that when presented with a white worksheet covered with black text and a couple of Googled graphics many pupils instinctively respond negatively. A modern teacher has a responsibility to improve their own skills in order to create engaging resources Note that this version of the tutorial contains instructions to create resources using Serif PagePlus, a very popular desktop publishing application. PagePlus is used in many schools due to its fun interface, ease of use and fantastic facilities. I highly recommend it to colleagues when delivering training on this topic. This staff tutorial could possibly be used with older students to teach the skills required to write professional looking reports.
