Download my poster which includes example task ideas on how to apply computational thinking problem solving skills to Music. 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! * Update: High Resolution 2560x1440 in both PNG & JPEG Please leave a review!!!

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
