THIS RESOURCE USES PYTHON VERSION 3. There are subtle differences between version 2 and 3, I believe. It's free to download though, so maybe update your systems. This is the 4th lesson in the series of my new resources on Python Programming. I'm teaching this to low ability year 9, though I know my higher ability year 7 would love it and I've also seen Python used within some primaries. It's suitable for any novice programming teacher (like me!). This lesson introduces Boolean logic and writing if statements in Python. The lesson is fully resourced and will last at least a full hour, if not longer. If you're an absolute beginner, this is ideal. Just read it through and print before teaching - that's it! Look out for my other Python programming resources as part of this series. Enjoy. ...look in bundles if you're buying more than one though, there's some discounts to be had there!

Simple starter or plenary suitable for any subject. Adaptable, so use over and over again - even with the same class. Ideal time for discussion of key terms as they are revealed. Enjoy.

A fun resource, and very adaptable. Perfect for year 6 induction, team building sessions, GCSE Business Induction session or PSHE lesson on Enterprise. So many different uses - and suitable for a range of ages. The session gets students to come up with a new product that turns the humble house brick into something everyone wants! Fully resourced. No need for a computer if you’re teaching in a classroom - just some basic art supplies (pencils/crayons etc.). This resource includes a student example, student hand out, instructions and PowerPoint display. Enjoy.

If you liked the first Plenary Wheel, things just got even better!! Version 2 is here, all new, USE ALONGSIDE VERSION ONE, NOT INSTEAD OF!! All your plenaries will be planned for months to come, if not longer!! See a video preview below BEFORE choosing to buy this TOP quality resource. Interactive, fun and engaging. A perfect end to the lesson! The plenary wheel is a PowerPoint file with a rotating wheel. Ask one of your students to shout STOP to select how the lesson ends. NO PLANNING involved. Just open the file and let your students decide. This wheel is the sequel to my original plenary wheel - it contains 8 NEW PLENARY activities that focus on the question “What have I learnt today”. It’s not a rebrand - so if you want both look for my bundle and then you’ll have SIXTEEN plenary activities - that’s your academic year sorted! The plenaries are: 60 seconds - tell a partner what you’ve learnt in a minute - timers includes. Picture review - draw how you feel/what you’ve learnt - template/handout included (print a bank of these ready!). Emoji review - select an emoji to summarise your learning today - template included if required (black and white or colour). Text message - write a reply to the text on the slide. 4-3-1, my take on the 5-5-1 review - write four sentences then whittle it down to just 1 word to summarise today’s lesson. Handout included, again print a stack ready! Red, Amber, Green - three sentence review of your learning today. Tell me three - answer the three summary questions about today’s learning. Status update - write a social media status to summarise your learning today. Macros must be enabled for the wheel to function, though the plenary activities can still be viewed without the wheel spinning (less exciting!). Enjoy!

Everything you need to teach Sole traders and teach it well - perfect for an observation. Differentiated learning outcomes included on the presentation. The presentation would also be useful printed as some stage for revision for your learners. The two activities include sorting advantages and disadvantages of sole trader ownership and an extended writing question. The lesson includes marking sheets that have space to match the work completed in this lesson to success criteria and space to give WWW and EBi (gap task). This really is value for money. To get even more value, use the plenary from the last slide in some of your other lessons - it's not lesson specific and is quite a nice end to any lesson. Enjoy!

Everything you need to teach Sole traders and teach it well - perfect for an observation. Differentiated learning outcomes included on the presentation. The presentation would also be useful printed as some stage for revision for your learners. The two main activities include sorting advantages and disadvantages of sole trader ownership and an extended writing question. The lesson includes marking sheets that have space to match the work completed in this lesson to success criteria and space to give WWW and EBi (gap task). This is a FULL lesson; ideally a 'double' session. Starter, 2 main activities (including paired work), and a plenary. Includes a full lesson plan for your records or for whoever is observing you. Enjoy!

This lesson introduces students to the different connections available for digital devices (wired and wireless connections). Students should mind map their own ideas first, before answers are revealed (click on the slide to reveal answers!). Students must then research OR use the support sheet to group advantages and disadvantages of each connection type. On the back page of the booklet is a review of the lesson where students must decide on the BEST method of connection; there are more answers, but the IDEAL answer is shown on the PowerPoint itself and students should be told this! Enjoy!

NEW! See a video preview of part of this resource below! Reading the description will help you see if this is suitable for your students' ability. I would say, however, that this resource is ideally suited to upper KS2 / lower KS3. This resource is a FULL lesson which introduces Mean Average. All four averages lessons are listed separately OR as one short unit of work at a discounted price, just check my other resources! The PowerPoint goes through what mean average is/how it's calculated. It then has two examples that can be done with your class (teacher led) - all answers are on the PowerPoint too. After each of the teacher led examples is one that students need to try themselves (these are labelled 'try it' on the PowerPoint). These are at the top of the worksheet. Students could try these, with help if needed - this could even be done is pairs. Finally, there's an independent task that has ten examples for students to calculate. These include numbers in the thousands, so differentiation by task is possible. Some answers include decimals. An answer sheet is provided for the teacher too. The lesson is reviewed by students feeding back at the bottom of their handout. All images are either royalty free or made by myself (those coins took some work!). 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.
