GCSE Computer Science 9-1
Assessment on unit covered so far:
Systems Architecture - Von Neumann Architecture, Components of the CPU.
Translators & Facilitators - Low Level Language, Assembly Language and High Level Language.
Algorithm - Binary search and merge sorting.
Teacher assessment criteria (Low Ability, Medium Ability, High Ability)
Final lesson before the end of unit test on break-even.
Flip the classroom.
Ask students to explain to you as the teacher each of the different aspects of break-even analysis.
Start with the first word, and go round the class building the response up.
Once you are satisfied that the term has been defined and exemplified, move on to the next word.
By the end of the lesson, revision will have occurred and you will have filled students with the confidence to do a break-even test!

This is the first lesson in the Cash Flow module, where students are introduced to the basic components of the cash flow forecast.
Student worksheet and solution.
E-marking working document for Spring term 2.
Key Stage 3 Computer Science
CS1 Understanding Computers
Lesson 2: Introducing Flash
Creating a title sequence for the 'Understanding Computers' animation
In this unit, students are introduced to the theory of how a computer works (basic level - Year 7). They will learn the theory and develop ICT skills in Flash concurrently, creating an animation summarising key learning.
Lesson plan
Flash student activity
Example animations of title sequence (differentiated).
Key Stage 3 Computer Science
CS1 Understanding Computers
Numeracy bridge lesson
This lesson bridges the gap between the PA1 Scratch unit and CS1 Understanding Computers unit for Year 7.
The lesson focuses on the computer system - Input - Process - Storage Output.
The activities are based around the Little Man Computer simulation.

LA.B2 Cash Flow Forecast
Lesson 3: An Introduction to Cash Flow Forecast
This is the third lesson in the Cash Flow module, where students are introduced net cash flow, cash surplus and cash deficit.
Spreadsheet-based unit teaching cash flow forecasting in a practical and easy-to-learn way.
Unit being developed in Spring term 2 2017 so more resources to follow shortly.
Learning in Excel evidenced in Word, thus developing transferable ICT skills at the same time.
Key Stage 3 Computer Science
A unit which introduces Year 7 students to the Computer System.
Theory is used to create an animation in Flash, thus developing ICT skills whilst learning Computer Science theory.
Developing unit during Spring Term 2, so more resources to follow shortly.

Business Ownership
Revision Session:
“Miss, can you go through ownership again – I still can’t remember the difference between Private Limited Company and Public Limited Company!”
“Miss, I still can’t answer why a sole trader or partnership would want to become a Private Limited Company!”
Resource prepared to generate discussion prior to attempting exam questions in preparation for the mock exam.
Target: Year 3
Group: Pupils struggling with keeping handwriting consistent size.
Background to resource: This resource was developed to help my son in Year 3 with his handwriting. He saw handwriting as a 'chore' and his writing kept changes sizes throughout a sentence. We named the groups of letters, and discussed them, and then he practised using my guide. His handwriting is looking better now, so I hope this resource can help other teachers too.
BTEC Business - Unit 2 Business Finance
LA.B2 Cash Flow Forecast
Lesson 4: Cash Flow - using mini-enterprise receipts and spending.
This is the fourth lesson in the Cash Flow module, where students are start using the concepts and link them to the mini-enterprise businesses they are running in class.
Student worksheet (differentiated - LAP & MAP+) and solution.
Designed as prompt cards to remind students of programming skills developed in the 'Introduction to Python' and 'Python Efficiency' units.
Whilst students attempt OCR's '20 Programming Challenges', these cards are useful for reminding students of programming techniques such as iteration, selection, list (arrays), functions, SQL etc.
Created so they can be printed out on card, and displayed in pockets at the front of class. Students then collect and refer to during the tasks preparing them for the controlled assessment in September.
Also a 'compilation set' for students for revision purposes.
Suitable for GCSE Business revision (A293)

Teacher solution
Target: Year 3
Group: Pupils struggling with keeping letters the correct way round
Background to resource: This resource was developed to help my son in Year 3 with his handwriting. He saw handwriting as a 'chore' and when tired, he would put letters facing in the wrong direction. We named the groups of letters that he commonly got wrong, and discussed them in terms of facing towards the left hand (gdqy) and the right-hand (bkpts), and then he practised using my guide. His letters generally face in the correct direction now, so I hope this resource can help other teachers too.
Self & Peer Assessment Wheels.
Laminate and put by computers during assessment and then as part of the self and peer assessment process, so that students see what is required for 'Emerging', 'Developing', 'Secure' or 'Exceeding' expectations.
