This is a full lesson with all resources to teach students how to draw shapes in Scratch (good for KS3 and I normally use it with KS3.) All worksheets are included with Powerpoint and a quick video explanation that can be shown to students. Students have to draw simple shapes in scratch from triangles up to circles which teachers them how loops work and how to conceptualise an algorithm. Loops inside loops can also be used as extension to draw some great geometric art. Learning objectives are: Understand simple algorithm design Know how to identify important ideas (abstraction) Understand how to break a problem into manageable units (decomposition). Know what repetition is (iteration) Extension task 2 also included for more difficult shapes

This lesson carries on for the previous four lessons to teach the basics of spreadsheets. The focus here is on using IFs and conditional formatting to create self marking quiz.

This lesson puts together all the learning from the previous 6 lessons in the Spreadsheets Basics Series into a practical task to create a battleships game using a spreadsheet to make use of formatting techniques, Averages, Max, Min, IFs, Conditional Formatting. I normally use this with KS3. I have also include a student example which has a Star Wars theme rather than the traditional battleships theme. This is a great activity that involves some quite complex use of Spreadsheet principles so there is a teacher exemplar to show each stage and a video to show the teacher / students what to do if they get stuck. The extension tasks are very tricky and should stretch the most able students.

This is my take on getting students to use their simple binary knowledge (they have looked at binary and how up to 5 bits works) and now it’s time to take this knowledge and use a simple task (1 bit binary which means two colours) and then progressing to 3 bit combinations (allowing for 8 colours). There are two spreadsheets that can be used which are available here and these can be shared with students. Task 1 is a simple 10 X 10 grid with 2 colours Task 2 is a 15 X 15 grid that allows 8 colours to be used The aim of all my resources is to provide lessons / activities of good quality that will add value to your lessons / schemes of work without any extra planning.
