All of the lessons have a bell work, recap of key content, key content to be taught, in-depth explanations and exam question practice (with exam style answers).
Structured to aid students understanding of a tricky topic.
A full set of lessons to cover the entire specification of GCSE OCR Computer Science. Each lesson has a bell work task, objectives/outcomes, teacher content and exam style questions.
GCSE OCR Computer Science (content maybe relevant to other exam boards) complete lesson set for 2.5 Translators and Facilities of Languages.
Lesson 1 contains content about translators and the different types of languages.
Lesson 2 contains content on IDEs and the tools they provide.
Comprehensive set of lessons with objectives/outcomes, bell work, learning opportunities and exam question practice (with answers).
GCSE Computer Science Paper 1 Revision Bundle. 5 PPTs for at least 5 lessons in total (over 100 slides).
Includes a range of revision activities in each PPT, from quick quizzes to retrieval questions. Content includes animated demos for some key content. Answers are provided via animations on each of the slides.
Content is aimed at OCR GCSE Computer Science but could be used for some other specs (please cross check the specifications you are using).
Aimed at year 11 revision for the lessons leading upto the exam/mock exam.
This could be used as a revision guide for year 11, assessment points throughout the year, or a weekly homework booklet for the duration of the course.
64 page booklet with contents page, sets of exam style questions for each unit (1.1 to 2.6, in order) for OCR GCSE Computer Science. Created in a style so that students can spend around 10 minutes on a particular unit of questions then mark their own work using the internet/revision guides for help.
Each unit has a revise/re-read/expert box at the end so students can log how they feel for each unit and revise those that are priority to them.
Throughout are small, inspirational quotes to help motivate students.
Absolutely brilliant resources, particularly for those students who “don’t know how to revise” or “don’t know what to revise” or “don’t know what to do to revise”. This has been great for those “hard to engage” students.
Relatively cheap to print (cost me £1.08 per booklet to print - this will depend on your own school’s printing costs).
3 weeks worth of lessons - following on from the opening lessons for OCR Computer Science GCSE these lessons cover storage and memory (RAM and types of storage). This comes complete with an end of topic assessment with an easy marking box at the end.
3 weeks worht of lessons - this is an introduction to GCSE OCR Computer Science focusing on what Computer Systems. There is a revision lesson and lesson assessment (taken after 3 weeks - OFSTED approved time - complete with easy marking strategy box at the end of the sheet).
This is a full 60 minute lesson complete with technical terms on every slide, objectives, outcomes on every slide and exam questions throughout. Plenty of differentiation, support and challenge for students of all abilities.
Termly assessments for year 7, 8 and 9.
Year 7 - E-safety
Year 8 - Computer Parts
Year 9 - Systems Architecture
All questions are exam based, with 20% for LPA, 60% for MPA and 20% for HPA.
Easy to mark and percentage, with simple feedback sheet at the end that can save you time and provide valuable feedback and direction for students to improve their work.
Set of binary/denary/hexadecimal lessons to be taught either at KS3 or for GCSE Computer Science.
No worksheets needed for this lesson just books and whiteboards.
Set of algorithm lessons (objectives, tasks, PASA etc) for year 10/11, perfect for teaching for paper 2.
Real life context really helping students understand and apply difficult concepts (i.e. BMI and weight training algorithms).
5 lessons on the systems architecture. no worksheets or computers needed, just books.
lessons on registers, embedded systems, control systems, ALU and CU, Cache memory.
set of 6 homework tasks for KS3 designed to improve the basic knowledge of younger students of Computing and the history that goes with it. designed to get students to research key people in Computing (Alan Turing, Ada Lovelace, Steve Jobs etc).
A full scheme of work for GCSE Computer Science, based on 3 lessons per week, each lesson for each week has a theme and topic. Scheduled assessments also included.
3 PPTs that are fantastic for GCSE OCR Paper 2 Revision. Lots of past paper style exam questions, answers for each question perfectly animated onto the screen in a timely fashion.
Lots of retrieval activities in between exam questions that help students recall key concepts. 60 slides in total covering a range of key topics on the paper 2 GCSE OCR exam.
A database with filters that allows the user to search for any question from GCSE Computing and Computer Science since 2011 (OCR-only). Very useful for selecting exam questions to give to students as a plenary/consolidate for individual lessons. easy to use, and will save you so much time. it has the marks for each question, the question type, the paper it was from (year and month), the key topic, sub-topic 1, sub-topic 2, sub-topic 3.
full set of KS3 assessments designed to be completed at the end of each topic (I currently use these for year 8s). each assessment has the easy marking box at the end to speed up your marking.
in the documents are also a set of criteria for each unit that fits into the new 9-1 grading system for Computing.
full set of year 7 assessments to be completed at the end of each topic. the assessments have the easy marking box at the end of the assessment and are all designed to be hand written.
in this set of documents are also assessment criteria for each unit that fits into the new 9-1 grading. “I can” statements are used to help students understand what grade they are at and why.
