They differs from a conventional guide because on each page it provides students with actual tasks to complete. E.g. sorting, linking, drawing, SPaG, spot the mistakes etc.
At the back there are dozens of questions that pupils can use the guide to help answer.
The 2 statistic pages were printed on A3, laminated & provided to the pupils as last minute revision, whilst they were waiting to go into the exam hall.
I printed lots off in colour and charged students £2 as well as providing them with a copy on disc. Some students just wanted a free disc copy & printed it at home.
Although designed for OCR, most of the content is the same for other exam boards and it is very easily amended.
These took dozens of hours to create and will be an superb time saving resource that will really support students of all ability.

Each student takes it in turn to read out their coordinates to try and sink the teachers ship.
A single hit sinks the entire ship.
It works incredibly well for all age groups.
