Instructions for teachers on how to create and use look up tables within Excel to calculate grades from scores automatically. Equally, you might use these instructions when teaching this skill to students.
I hope these instructions are fairly straight forward. I used Excel 2013 for the print screens, though the skill is similar in whatever Excel version is being used.
Great for staff training. ALL staff should know how to do this to save time when tracking data.
Enjoy!
Teacher instructions to help with tracking data for departments, school wide or individual class trackers.
These instructions show how to insert an IF statement to compare a grade (for a unit/exam/module etc.) to a target, to show whether it's above, below or meeting target grade.
Two separate instructions for grades A*-G and numbers 9-1.
Ideal for whole staff training. More advanced staff should be adapting the formulae to suit their needs.
Enjoy.

Two activities to introduce five laws to students. I teach low ability GCSE Computer Science, and this is perfect for them. Specifically mapped to OCR Computer Science J276, though good for any lessons covering these five laws:
- Data Protection Act 1998
- Computer Misuse Act 1990
- Copyright Designs and Patents Act 1988
- Creative Commons Licensing
- Freedom of Information Act 2000
There are TWO activities here which make teaching this (slightly dull) topic easier.
1. Laws Jigsaw - Print on A3. Students cut out all pieces and connect to make 5 jigsaws, one about each law. There's an answer sheet which I stick at the front if students struggle they're allowed a peek!
2. Laws Summary - Students fill in the missing words. Answers are provided to discuss. There is also a help sheet with potential words to use; this is again stuck at the front and students are allowed one or two peeks whilst completing the task. There are TWO versions of the sheet, one with letter prompts to make it easier. The harder one is good because students often use different words, so good for discussion.
Enjoy.
A FULL lesson on Business Pricing Strategies. DO NOT buy if you've got my Cambridge Nationals resource. This resource is not tailored to any specification or age group, ideal for all!
Includes Penetration Pricing, Cost Plus, Price Skimming, Psychological Pricing and Competitive Pricing Strategies.
Includes introductions to each, a note taking activity and a review activity to apply knowledge. The notes pages can also be printed for accessible revision if needed for GCSE or 'A' Level exams.
All top quality.
Enjoy.
Suitable for any Business Specification where students need to know what Fixed and Variable Costs are. Also discussed (and has an activity) for working out total costs and profit etc.
DO NOT BUY if you already have my TASK 5 for Cambridge Nationals.
This resource includes ALL theory notes, loads of activities.
All top quality.
Enjoy.
Students need to sort the hardware into input, output or storage device. There's a handout which could be printed, cut and glued into a table or printed and laminated to enable a paired or group sort activity.
A nice main activity for any Computer Science lesson.
Enjoy!
A nice little task when teaching Business Location.
Print or display the drawn choices of possible locations. Students complete the handout by selecting an appropriate location (by letter) and giving their reasons for their choice. There's no answer sheet, but selections should be appropriate with sensible reasoning.
This could then lead to a class discussion, a nice starter!
Apologies for my drawings! I'm no artist...

This is another in my 'Let's Learn' series.
The lesson gets students to think about their initial ideas before introducing start-up and running costs so progress can easily be judged. The lesson PowerPoint is equally good for revision if printed or made available electronically so it's even more of a bargain!
There are two main activities (one is an exam style question assessment that can be peer marked with teacher guidance.
The lesson plan is included to guide teachers through every step of the lesson.
Enjoy!
A quick starter activity asking students to identify the largest / smallest storage value from a given range of four.
I use this with GCSE students who still identify the largest number as the largest capacity rather than using the unit of storage too.
Answers provided, just in case.
Enjoy, for free!
Learners cut out the three titles of ownership types from the right hand side. Around/below these titles they arrange the cut outs that appear on the left of the sheet.
Excellent for revision after teaching attributes of sole traders, partnerships and limited companies.
Updated with answers!
Print in colour and laminate. Designed on A3, so they won't pixelate if printed in big!
Ideal for any primary classroom to visually show the three symbols.
Enjoy.
