Summary

This unit assumes that pupils already have some prior experience in Python or a similar language, and the first lesson has a series of tasks designed to revisit the basic skills already covered. Pupils then use For loops and compare their use with While loops, before moving on to arrays (lists), which are introduced as a new data structure and are used in conjunction with For loops. Procedures and functions with parameters are covered to help pupils understand the concept and benefits of modular programming. This unit is designed to take pupils right up to a point where a GCSE in Computing can pick up and should provide ample experience of programming in order to confirm any decision to pursue Computing as a GCSE option.

What's included in the 10th Anniversary toolkit?

Toolkit

The new units have been written to satisfy the new National Curriculum for Computing. They are designed for teaching at KS3 but individual lessons in some units may also be appropriate for teaching Key Stages 2 or 4, particularly where Year 10 students may not previously have been exposed to certain topics.

The 10th Anniversary Upgrade includes:

  1. Revised content based on teacher feedback that fully meets the national curriculum requirements 
  2. Full HD 16:9 widescreen presentations with enriched illustrations 
  3. New starters and plenaries with every lesson 
  4. Full answer slides for all questions asked in presentations 
  5. Worksheets with answers for every lesson 
  6. Homework sheets with answers for every lesson 
  7. Updated learning objectives and unit assessments 
  8. Updated lesson plans for new and non-specialist teachers 
  9. Pointer slides to worksheet activities in all presentations 
  10. An improved foundation and progression for the latest GCSE and vocational qualifications 

What people say...

These units map very nicely to the new Computing curriculum.  They are well organised and consistent in the way they are structured and also easy for teachers to use and deliver the content.
