This is a full lesson with all resources to teach students how to draw shapes in Scratch (good for KS3 and I normally use it with KS3.) All worksheets are included with Powerpoint and a quick video explanation that can be shown to students. Students have to draw simple shapes in scratch from triangles up to circles which teachers them how loops work and how to conceptualise an algorithm. Loops inside loops can also be used as extension to draw some great geometric art. Learning objectives are: Understand simple algorithm design Know how to identify important ideas (abstraction) Understand how to break a problem into manageable units (decomposition). Know what repetition is (iteration) Extension task 2 also included for more difficult shapes

This is Lesson 1 to introduce Spreadsheets to students with the aim of dealing with simple Mathematical functions and also introduce some simple formatting. Also includes full step by step teacher examples. The Learning Objectives are: Understand how excel can do calculations based on cell values Know how to use basic formula (add / subtract / multiply / divide) This Download includes: Presentation Two practical tasks with differentiation Extension Task Step by Step examples to show students for all the tasks

This lesson has the following objectives •Know how to collate data using Microsoft Excel •Understand how to produce charts and graphs to show your data It leads on from Lessons 1 and 2 which covered formatting and relative / absolute cells and goes onto introduce how to create tables in excel and then how to create graphs and charts. This Download includes: Presentation Two practical tasks with differentiation Extension Task An optional data collection survey This resource has enough for 2 lessons X 50 minutes with extension tasks for those students that get through their tasks quicker than all the rest.

This lesson carries on for the previous four lessons to teach the basics of spreadsheets. The focus here is on using IFs and conditional formatting to create self marking quiz. The extension is to lock down a worksheet and protect cells / use a password to restrict access to a sheet / workbook. The files also contain a teacher exemplar to use with the class and a step by step presentation for students to follow. Learning Objectives • Understand how to use the IF function to create a quiz • Know how to protect cells so that only the owner of the document can edit parts of it The aim of all my resources is to provide lessons / activities of good quality that will add value to your lessons / schemes of work.

This lesson builds on lesson 1 to look at the difference between Absolute and Relative Cells Learning Objectives: Understand how to use Absolute and Relative Cells Know how to do currency conversions This Download includes: Presentation Two practical tasks with differentiation Two Extension Tasks Student Presentation to complete Teacher Example

This lesson puts together all the learning from the previous 6 lessons in the Spreadsheets Basics Series into a practical task to create a battleships game using a spreadsheet to make use of formatting techniques, Averages, Max, Min, IFs, Conditional Formatting. I normally use this with KS3. I have also include a student example which has a Star Wars theme rather than the traditional battleships theme. This is a great activity that involves some quite complex use of Spreadsheet principles so there is a teacher exemplar to show each stage and a video to show the teacher / students what to do if they get stuck. The extension tasks are very tricky and should stretch the most able students.

This is lesson six of the Spreadsheet basics series of lessons. This gets students to understand how to use functions in order to do simple calculations (SUM, AVERAGE, MAX, MIN) for a class of students with a mark-sheet for a fictional class. There is an advanced version of the mark-sheet for those super fast students which also needs them to work out how to calculate ranges and relies on earlier taught content on this course which required them to convert scores to percentages. The lesson comes with teacher exemplars to use with students and a step by step presentation Learning Objectives: • Know how to use the SUM, AVERAGE, MIN and MAX functions • Understand how to speed up setting up spreadsheets with Copy and Paste This Download includes: Presentation Two practical tasks allowing for differentiation Teacher model answers for both tasks This resource has enough for 2 lessons X 50 minutes with extension tasks for those students that get through their tasks quicker than all the rest

These are converting Binary to Decimal and Decimal to Binary. Also included are the teacher answer sheets and as these worksheets randomly generate the questions (and answers) whenever you make a change to a blank cell on the work sheet, these can be used to generate different versions of the quiz which students can self mark very easily (I stick the answers to different versions on the walls of the classroom for students to self check) My resources vision: As with all of my resources, a full answer key is included to absolutely<strong> minimise teacher prep time</strong>. Please comment with any feedback, suggestions or improvements!

A wonderful starter for any lesson on Logical / computational Thinking. Print out the sheet and get students in pairs to see if they can come up with a solution The objective is to arrange the pegs (numbers 1-8) such that no consecutive number touches on any connecting line. For example number 1 cannot connect with number 2; number 2 cannot connect with 3 or 1; number 5 cannot connect with 4 or 6; etc. Answer is included in the pack
