Summary

This revised unit is suitable for pupils regardless of their previous spreadsheet experience. An introduction to spreadsheets lesson has been added to this new 10th Anniversary Edition which goes through the basics for those who are new to spreadsheets. For those with more experience it serves as a useful revision lesson.

The unit covers relative and absolute cell references, formulas, functions and formatting. The unit is centred around creating a financial model for a TV talent show. Pupils start by looking at different types of model and then use basic spreadsheet techniques to create and format a simple financial model to calculate the expected income from viewers’ voting. The model is then extended to include sales from merchandising, with the introduction of “what if” scenarios some of which are solved using Goal Seek. Finally, the pupils create a seat booking system to calculate income from seat sales. Further spreadsheet features covered include SUM, MAX, IF and COUNTIF functions, conditional formatting, validation, charting and simple macros.

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.

  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

We had been looking around for some KS3 computing resources for some time.  However, we couldn't find any that were suitable and value for money. The PG Online units provided us with exactly what we were looking for to get our new computing curriculum up and running. Each unit is designed to provide a complete solution including; comprehensive lesson plans, editable presentations and an end of unit assessment. Purchasing these units have saved us valuable time and has helped us to create a curriculum which is both easy to follow and engaging.
