This is a set of resources designed to be a rich mathematical task, used for project lessons. The project is set up to span around 4 hours, but could stretch to 5 or be condensed to a single lesson if excluding certain aspects. Suitable for years 7 - 10. The pack contains worksheets, lesson powerpoints and a feedback sheet for students to complete whilst watching presentations. Details of activities: Activity 1: Choose a name and theme. Students choose a name for their theme park and design a logo for it. They also have to decide on a theme and target market. The maths involved in this lesson involved number skills required to be able to select the desired name. Activity 2: Choose a location. Students decide on the optimal location for their park based on floor space, location and condition of the site. This lesson involves area of compound shapes (with challenge involving circles) along with financial calculations. Activity 3: Choose rides. Students decide on the rides they want in their park which need to fit in with their theme and target market. In order to pick rides, students must calculate costs which include upfront costs and upkeep costs which varies between weekly, monthly and yearly for each ride. Students have to manage their budget to optimise their choice. Further to this, each ride is given a fun factor as a fraction which students have to work with in order to find out if their theme park hits the requirements. Activity 4: Catch up and presentations My students have loved completing this activity when I have ran it, and it is also nice to give them an opportunity to stand up and present their ideas and calculations to the class. Any questions, please ask! Thanks, Toby Watkins

NOTE: If you use Python, you may prefer to get my full collection of 10 knowledge organisers available as a bundle which works out cheaper per organiser. A collection of 8 full page knowledge organisers designed to summarise key modules of computer science to help students learn topics and revise. The topics cover: Computational Thinking Basic Programming Data Representation Computer System Networks Binary Calculations Ethical, Legal and Environmental Impact Each organiser includes key words, key skills and key knowledge in an easy to digest format. These took hours to make and refine, so save yourself the time for the equivalent of £1.69 a sheet! NOTE: If you do not use python for programming, I have uploaded all of the non python specific organisers in a separate file. This may be better for you if you don’t want to pay for resources that may not be as useful. Thanks Toby Watkins

This is a combined document including knowledge organisers, module quizzes and solutions for all of the main Computer Science content. I am using this as a “last-minute” revision pack for my year 11s, but could also be used throughout the year to aid learning and understanding. It is the best value way of purchasing all of my painstakingly organisers and quizzes. If you have already bought either my knowledge organisers or module quizzes and are looking for the other, please don’t buy this. Full packs of knowledge organisers and module quizzes are available separately as bundles. It has been designed to be printed as a stapled booklet, with students using the knowledge organisers to help them learn for the quizzes, before checking their work with the solutions. Alternatively, you could print select pages. These are available individually for a total of £36, so a saving of £8 by buying the full set here.

This is by far the best resource I have ever made. It is a full program, allowing randomly generated questions spanning over 50 different skills / topics. The key reason this exists was to combat the 20 minutes a day I spent producing Skills Grids to use as starters for my classes. The power of deliberate practice and spaced retrieval is massive, so using this program every lesson with my class to practice key skills is fundamental in helping my students succeed. With an increased focus on problem solving style questions in the GCSE exam, it is more important than ever to make sure our students have the skills mastered so that they can apply them with confidence. Save yourself hours and hours of time by using this for your daily review questions, or use it to produce quick worksheets or question sets for in your lessons. Features Randomly generated questions spanning 47 different skills, allowing for infinite questions. Difficulty toggle for the majority of topics, for example allowing more digits in multiplication questions, finding a short side instead of hypotenuse for Pythagoras and allowing squared terms in collecting like terms. An additional problem solving function, where there are 5 procedurally generated applied questions which span multiple topics and are very similar to the more in-depth GCSE exam questions. Integrated and easy to use timer, including pop-out function for separate use. Easy to use class profiles, allowing you to add as many classes as you teach and toggle which topics should be provided as options for each. For example, load your year 11 set 1 with simultaneous equations, sine rule and quadratic formula, and have your year 7 set 4 focus on basic operations, negative numbers and fractions. Random selection button, to have the program automatically select the required amount of topics from the current class profile. “1 Topic” button, to fill all areas with a single topic for focused skills practice. This automatically chooses the first sets to be easy mode and the later ones as hard mode. Great for review questions / do now quizzes at the start of lessons, question sets during main lesson, revision worksheets and much more. This program is being sold here as very much in early stages of development. I have used it daily for the last 3 years, but you may encounter some small issues such as some questions displaying incorrectly on some resolutions. You will receive the full program for this purchase as it is now, which has all of the functionality described above. You would also be supporting myself as a developer and maths teacher. Only for Windows PCs. Feel free to contact me for any questions or concerns at tobywatkins@gmail.com Thanks Toby Watkins
