I created this resource as a Homework activity to consolidate the learning of Huffman Coding for year 10 Students. Teachers - The magic word is 'ABRACADABRA', however students need to show all their working out in order to score full marks. Marks are awarded for showing the following: Place each character in the correct place at the start of the Huffman tree (1 mark). Correct position of each node on the Huffman tree (5 marks). Correct binary allocation (1 mark). Correct allocation of each character to a binary number (5 marks). Work out the magic word (3 marks) Max 15 marks

This unit of work introduces students (I use this with year 7) to the concepts of computational thinking and logical thinking. It is split into three fully differentiated sections: 1. Design an interactive story using a flowchart to identify the key decision points within your story. 2. Create an interactive story using PowerPoint, hyperlinking the slides to the correct locations. 3. Test and evaluate your story and make improvements where required. I have included some slides to provide additional assistance, for example hyperlinking auto shapes, removing the on mouse click advancements, etc. Alongside developing computational thinking skills, this unit is also an opportunity for students to develop their graphic design skills. I have also included an example interactive story so students can get an idea of what they could create themselves, while considering what they could make even better themselves. This resource is a perfect continuation from my Introduction Computational Thinking for KS3 resource! ***Please Leave a Review***

Download my poster which includes example task ideas on how to apply computational thinking problem solving skills to English! The poster includes a range of tasks and classroom ideas that use key computational thinking skills! *Computational Thinking is a skill set that can be used across the curriculum, not just within computer science! The logical approach to solving a problem means that it’s application can be used to develop and improve students ability to deal with difficult problems in a more rational way. The aim of my posters is to make you realise that many of the brilliant tasks that teachers facilitate week in, week out actually include computational thinking. It’s just a matter of making it more explicit!
