Programmer's Paradise

Average Rating4.08
(based on 24 reviews)

Computer Science resources for KS3-4, with a focus on programming. Programming resources include Scratch, Microbit, Small Basic and Visual Basic for now, with other languages potentially in the future, such as C#. I have worked with the AQA specification throughout my teaching career and so these resources will be suitable for anyone teaching the new AQA spec. Please review any resources, suggestions are welcome for improvements etc.

Exam Style Python Programming Questions (GCSE AQA)

Exam Style Python Programming Questions (GCSE AQA)

(0)
These questions are used to help students practice longer Python coding questions that they will encounter in GCSE exams. The pseudocode style where included is based on AQA, and each question comes with a mark scheme showing where marks are scored. Again, this is based around AQA’s mark schemes (i.e. awarding marks for including selection, for example). This set contains 8 programming questions and mark schemes for each. In separate uploads I have the powerpoint used in lessons to help deliver specific lessons which build up towards answering the longer programming questions in this set. The order I used them (with the intent of increasing difficulty as we went along): 1 - Phone Bill Calculator 2 - Note Changer 3 - Swimming Pool 4 - Guessing Game 5 - Substrings and functions 6 - Sports Day (function) 7 - Linear Search Array 8 - Inverting Image (2D array)

This is a series of eight Python programming lessons/revision (based on AQA specification) that have helped my GCSE classes improve their long answer programming question technique. The lessons built up towards working with 2D arrays and functions in time for the exams. Included is the exam-style question, mark scheme and the powerpoint used to help deliver a lesson building up towards answering the longer code question. The powerpoint includes information about the specific code features as well as some warm up code questions. Some of the powerpoints include theory as well, for example arrays or string handling if necessary to answer the longer code question. The programming content for each lesson is as follows: Input/Output Selection Multiple Selection statements Indefinite Iteration Substrings and functions Functions Arrays 2D Arrays

Individual QLA Generator

(2)
This spreadsheet is used to generate individual QLAs from a whole class QLA. You just copy and paste in the question number, marks and question subject, along with the class scores and it will create individual sheets for students to then rate using a RAG system. The individual QLAs are designed to be 2 per page of A4. The columns auto-resize during the creation of the sheets so be careful if using full names, as it may mean that one sheet is wider than the rest which can cause issues when cutting!
