This book is aimed at GCSE students. It provides comprehensive yet concise coverage of all the topics covered in the new Edexcel 1CP2 Computer Science specification, written and presented in a way that is accessible to teenagers. It will be invaluable both as a course text and as a revision guide for students nearing the end of their course.

It is divided into six sections covering every element of the specification. Section 6 covers problem solving with programming with practical problems that help students when learn the key concepts required for paper 2. Python 3 is used and questions and examples can all be completed using syntax from the Programming Language Subset (PLS). 

Solutions to all questions and exercises are provided in a free teacher pack available on our website.

To accompany this textbook, PG Online also publishes a series of six downloadable teaching units. Each topic in a unit consists of a PowerPoint presentation, teacher’s notes, worksheets, homework sheets and a final assessment test with practice questions. Each topic within a unit is expected to be taught over several lessons in a week.

Unit 6 covers programming and gives ample opportunity for students to gain practical experience of answering questions in the style of Paper 2.

Units are sold as a lifetime site licence and may be loaded onto the school’s private network or learning platform.
