An introduction to organisation/organization charts.
This resource includes a lesson PowerPoint (full lesson), three differentiated activities with increasing difficulty and a lesson review (exit note).
Teachers could either give students the sheet to draw all three charts or give students different examples to complete based on ability, which is why there are different versions.
Teachers may also wish to get students to create the charts themselves OR could use the templates provided - or lower ability students could be provided with the templates.

This is part of a series of lessons for KS2 or KS3 maths on Averages. This lesson introduces the Median. All four averages lessons are listed separately OR as one short unit of work at a discounted price (£10), just check my other resources!
The PowerPoint introduces the median then gives two teacher led activities to guide students through finding the median. After each teacher led part, the students get a chance to try themselves, where they can ask questions or even work in pairs.
After discovering what the median is and having a go with help, students are given an independent task to work out the median. Some of the answers involve finding the middle value between two given numbers, so not just putting the values in order!
An answer sheet is provided for the teacher too, and all answers pop up on the PowerPoint itself!
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 and football shirts took some work!).
Enjoy ;-)

Let’s learn about… Stakeholders!
This lesson is FULLY resourced with a FULL lesson plan. It would suit a double lesson because of the amount of activities involved, though some could be used for homework or the lesson could be adapted for two single periods.
1. Starter - name all groups interested in the school
2. Introduce stakeholders
3. Who is each group? Differentiated.
4. What interest does each group have? Differentiated.
5. Birmingham Airport Case Study
6. Exit tickets to review understanding/learning
Suits year 9 or year 10 students who have never covered stakeholders before.
Enjoy!

Another FULL Micro:bit lesson. I actually used the spare devices supplied by the BBC to deliver this lesson for Year 6 induction recently. Equally ideal for year 7 or 8 ICT/Computing groups.
The PowerPoint, handout and attached code get the students to program a decision maker on their Micro:bit device. So, when shook, the device provides a random answer to the question the student asks - quite fun!
Everything needed, including extra challenges to stretch the top end or step by step support for lower ability groups.
A review of the lesson objectives at the end is also included.
If you don't like paying for resources, I've also uploaded a FREE Rock, Paper, Scissors resource.
Enjoy!

GREAT FOR HOMEWORK! If you set one page each week, that’s more than enough for a half term. The pages also act as a good discussion point for a starter in the following lesson too (win, win!).
To REDUCE MARKING - there’s the smallest space for teachers to put 4 ticks to assess each homework. Low stakes, low work-load marking.
These booklets are mapped against OCR's GCSE Business Studies NEW Specification (J204).
They cover Unit 1 / Business 1 of the new specification.
Each of the three booklets has 8 homework sheets.
That's 24 HOMEWORK SHEETS! If setting one per week (which is MORE than enough) that's enough for AT LEAST three half terms, or HALF a school year, if not more.
Each booklet has a space for teacher marking - MINIMAL marking though (see the preview).
Look out for the bundle to cover Unit 2 / Business 2 too! Save almost 30%.
Enjoy.

Enjoy, with over 15% discount!
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 ;-)
Suitable for any Business Specification where students need to know what Fixed and Variable Costs are. Also discussed (and has an activity) for working out total costs and profit etc.
DO NOT BUY if you already have my TASK 5 for Cambridge Nationals.
This resource includes ALL theory notes, loads of activities.
All top quality.
Enjoy.

Students need to name the parts of a computer (leading to my lesson on input, output or storage devices which is also available in my resources).
Enjoy!
A short PowerPoint presentation to be used as a quick starter activity in a Computing or PSHE lesson focusing on Internet security.

A quick resource that may provide a good discussion when the answers students have given are revealed!
Enjoy, your feedback is always valued!
'Understanding Computers'; scheme of work and accompanying student booklet for Key Stage 3 Computer Science. Fully planned and resourced, print and go.
The unit of work has been referenced against the new KS3 programme of study for Computing. The unit includes short topics on hardware, software, devices, input, output, storage, binary numbers, convergence and future technologies and is a good basis for an introduction to computers. This unit would ideally suit year 7 or 8 students and has elements of differentiation throughout to allow teachers to deliver the same unit of work to multiple ability groups (save on the planning!).
The scheme of work should also give you some fresh ideas for more creative teaching strategies in Computing.

Can I first apologise if anyone is actually French and using this! I think I have expertly translated as best I can. Excusez-moi!
This version of my plenary selector gets students to look back at what they have learnt in a French lesson. Slide 1 includes a spinning wheel that can be stopped to choose the plenary for the lesson. There are seven different outcomes so it could be used regularly and routinely in lessons to get students to reflect on their learning, all fully resourced where required.
The PowerPoint took ages to make and code, so please don’t share too readily! You must enable macros on your computer to allow it to work, or get in touch with your IT technician!
Enjoy.
