OCR GCSE Computer Science - Revision Resource for Independent Study:
Memory Joggers and Explain questions for Paper 1 Computer Systems and Paper 2 Computational Thinking and Algorithms.
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.
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.
Worksheet that students can complete on computer (Excel) or by hand.
Recaps on costs and revenues before delving into break-even.

Personal Learning Checklist for the BTEC First Award in Music.
RAG rates students against the PLCs for each unit of the syllabus.
Monitor progress on completion of assessment objectives.
This resource has been developed based on student feedback from the Paper 2 2018 and the Paper 2 Examiner Report extract: “Candidates who did well on this paper generally… Understood the use of SQL and wildcards.”
This resource provides: Syntax, example for a fruitShop table and practice with a bakery table. Solution provided - in lesson, I will get students to self-check against a printed copy of the solution.
Thanks for taking an interest in this resource.
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'.
EdExcel GCSE Business - Revision Resource for Independent Study:
Memory Joggers and Explain questions for Theme 1 Investigating Small Business and Theme 2 Growing a Business.

Help your students learn those little facts that will gain the identify or state questions in the GCSE Computer Science 9-1 exams.
Little nuggets of revision - “cut-out and stick on this fridge/mirror or anywhere in the house where you’ll see it.”
I have now created these for all the topics in Component 1 & Component 2, and have put them in a bundle. As I create revision resources, I will also create more bundles to help students prepare for the exam. If you liked this resource, there are more like it available for a small fee:

A simple resource to help students remember how to convert from Hexadecimal into Decimal number (denary), and from Decimal number (denary) into Hexadecimal.
As there are no calculators in the exam this year, it would help if students could refer to the 16 times table quickly when converting.
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.
