Computational Thinking Lessons

A great introduction to understanding computational thinking including decomposition, pattern recognition and abstraction. These ready to use computational thinking lessons will save you hours of preparation and can easily be adapted to meet your own requirements.

WHAT IS INCLUDED?
In this unit you have 3 ready-to-use lessons:

• Differentiation
• Pattern recognition
• Abstraction including a computational thinking team task
  .

Please Note: This unit DOES NOT teach pupils about algorithms. In this unit pupils will be using everyday examples to help them understand the principles of computational thinking.

This lesson includes everything you need is included such as:

• a very high-quality accessible PowerPoint presentation for every lesson that effortlessly leads the teacher through the lesson and includes all the answers to the many questions and tasks the students need to complete
• an editable worksheet for every lesson
• an easy-to-follow editable lesson plan for every lesson
  .

PRIOR LEARNING
This unit does expect pupils know that computers use programs to tell them what to do, and assumes they have had some experience of writing Scratch programs.

EASY TO USE
These ready to use resources are so straightforward that although I have included a lesson plan, most teachers can teach straight from the PowerPoint presentation without any further assistance. And best of all, the answers are included saving you time and energy.

This makes these lessons suitable for experienced computing specialist teachers along with non-specialists and early career teachers (ECTs).

EDITABLE RESOURCES
I understand that teachers want to adapt their resources, so I’ve made the bold decision to make these resources editable.

Therefore, if you need to use a particular template style for your school or pupils with special educational needs, you can change the PowerPoint presentation, worksheet and lesson plan to suit your needs.

SCIENTIFICALLY PROVEN TEACHING TECHNIQUES
These teaching resources have been specifically designed to aid pupils using educational psychology backed theories including dual coding, Mayer’s theory and the best techniques to alleviate cognitive load.

These lessons are highly interactive and engage students straight from the start.
