A visual and step by step worksheet (ideal for one lesson) teaching students how to factorise quadratics using the box method. Two resources included - one for Foundation and one for Higher. Higher worksheet covers quadratics where coefficient of x square = 1 and not = 1. Answers provided.

2 x programming starters for Python: “predict the output” and “spot the error”. Covers sequences and data types. Ideal for recapping early Python lessons. Answers provided. DOC and PDF files included for each starter.

This resource steps students to develop confidence in using use sin / cos / tan to find missing lengths and angles in right angled triangles. Scaffolded activities for the following: Labelling the sides of a right angled triangle (opp, adj, hyp) Investigation on how the ratio between two sides in a right angled triangle gives rise to sin / cos / tan values Using FORMULA TRIANGLES to help with usage of SOH, CAH, TOA formula triangles Finding MISSING LENGTHS in a right angled triangle (with a step by step guide and independence building questions) Finding MISSING ANGLES in a right angled triangle (with a step by step guide and independence building questions) Working through all resources would require 60-100 minutes.Potentially 2 lessons. Answers are included for some of the activities and a sin/cos/tan value table for students who don’t have a scientific calculator.

Help students become familiar with pseudocode by asking them to match pseudocode programs to their purposes (or explaining them if higher ability). This activity includes use of IF statements, FOR loops, WHILE loops, STRING manipulation, FUNCTIONS and ARRAYS. Lower ability students can do the matching activity and higher ability can provide the purpose rather than match. Files for both included as well as answers. DOC and PDF file formats provided.

Help students become proficient with iteration / loops and pseudocode by asking them to identify infinite loops as well as providing loop counts for non-infinite loops. Includes a question on nested loops as a challenge. Ideal for a starter, plenary or homework. Answers included. DOC and PDF file formats provided.

Help students become familiar with pseudocode by asking them to fill in the blanks for 3 pseudocode programs. This activity includes use of IF statements, FOR loops and WHILE loops. Ideal for a starter, plenary or homework. Answers included. DOC and PDF file formats provided.

Visual method and step-by-step help on how to complete the square. Includes 2 examples and 4 questions which help students to access the how and why of completing the square as well as serving as a good introduction to the topic. Questions cover the form for x^2 + bx and x^2 + bx + c. Answers provided.

4 worded fraction problems (non-calculator) to encourage students to visualise the problem, write the method and highlight the answer. All focus on amount sharing and there is a “make up your own question at the end”. Ideal for Higher and Foundation (Grade 4). Should take 30-45 minutes.

Students need to find and fix logic and syntax errors in 4 pseudocode style programs. For each one, they have to provide the line number for the logic/syntax error, an explanation and a fixed version. Activity mirrored on GCSE style questions with challenging algorithms in use. A reference sheet at the back explains what syntax and logic errors are with examples. Answers are included. File formats provided are PDF and DOC. Note: Mistake on Extension task and Help sheet now fixed. Please download again to get the corrected version.

A laddered resource to help students find the nth term of a quadratic sequence in a visual and structured way. Resource includes teacher slides (with builds to explain the example), a worked solution and answers for the other questions. Includes a quadratic pattern challenge at the end.

A well illustrated step-by-step resource showing students how to create a 4-bit binary converter in Scratch with an explanation of the algorithm and extension activity. Key blocks to use are shown along with starter code for students to build on. Ideal for 1 lesson (approx. 45 minutes). Extension will require longer. Steps covered: create backdrop setup variables layout stage ask for input and initialise variables write program for 8s column write program for 4s column write program for 2s and 1s column Resource assumes students can navigate their way around Scratch and know the main functionality of it (using blocks, editing backdrops, sprites etc.).
