A place to share some of the resources I have made for Computer Science and Maths. Primarily focused on assessment and curriculum resources for GCSE Computer Science where I feel there is a shortage of good quality material available.
A place to share some of the resources I have made for Computer Science and Maths. Primarily focused on assessment and curriculum resources for GCSE Computer Science where I feel there is a shortage of good quality material available.
This bundle contains 3 assessments.
The first is an early assessment, designed to be used part way though year 10 covering early learning only.
The second is an end of year 10 assessment covering most main topics.
The third is a full AQA exam board style exam covering the same proportions and assessment points as the formal examinations.
All come complete with mark scheme, with the full exam being an exam board level scheme.

NOTE: If you use Python, you may prefer to get my full collection of 10 knowledge organisers available as a bundle which works out cheaper per organiser.
A collection of 8 full page knowledge organisers designed to summarise key modules of computer science to help students learn topics and revise.
The topics cover:
Computational Thinking
Basic Programming
Data Representation
Computer System
Networks
Binary Calculations
Ethical, Legal and Environmental Impact
Each organiser includes key words, key skills and key knowledge in an easy to digest format.
These took hours to make and refine, so save yourself the time for the equivalent of £1.69 a sheet!
NOTE: If you do not use python for programming, I have uploaded all of the non python specific organisers in a separate file. This may be better for you if you donāt want to pay for resources that may not be as useful.
Thanks

This is a module summary quiz on the topic of the Computer System, including Hardware and Software. The assessment features a range of question types and includes full worked solutions and answers. I print these 2 to a page and use them as a low stakes quiz at the end of a module. I will also be reusing them as a revision resource for my year 11s.
These module quizzes are linked to the Knowledge Organisers I have also made and are available on TES. Most of the content is featured on the similarly named organiser, but would still be more than suitable without the use of the organisers.
Any questions, please feel free to ask.

This is a collection of my module quizzes - a series of exam style questions and key knowledge/skill checks for each of the main Computer Science topic.
Questions are applicable to all exam boards including AQA and OCR.
All module quizzes come with full answers provided.
I print these 2 to a page and use them both for end of topic assessments for current year 10, and exam revision for year 11.

These are two worksheets I use to teach binary numbers, including understanding, place value and conversions to and from decimal numbers. One is more of a conceptual understanding, and the other is a consolidation sheet of conversions both ways.

This is a combined document including knowledge organisers, module quizzes and solutions for all of the main Computer Science content. I am using this as a ālast-minuteā revision pack for my year 11s, but could also be used throughout the year to aid learning and understanding.
It is the best value way of purchasing all of my painstakingly organisers and quizzes. If you have already bought either my knowledge organisers or module quizzes and are looking for the other, please donāt buy this. Full packs of knowledge organisers and module quizzes are available separately as bundles.
It has been designed to be printed as a stapled booklet, with students using the knowledge organisers to help them learn for the quizzes, before checking their work with the solutions. Alternatively, you could print select pages.
These are available individually for a total of £36, so a saving of £8 by buying the full set here.
This is a collection of module quizzes covering key content that is assessed in paper 1 of the new specification GCSE. I will be using these as a final push for my current year 11s in the run up to the final exam. They are specifically designed for AQA 8520 spec, but content is also suitable for OCR and other boards.
In total there are 4 double page module quizzes, along with answers to each. The key topics are: Computational Thinking, Programming Basics (Pseudocode/flowcharts), Development and Testing and advanced programming (subroutines etc.)
There are questions covering the vast majority of the specification, but these are in no way intended to be exhaustive.
The question style features exam style questions, along with question types designed to prompt recall and understanding.
Full answers are provided for each quiz.
Note: These module quizzes can be obtained individually, or as a complete package, in my TES shop. If you have already purchased any module quizzes, or if you want topics spanning both paper 1 and 2, it may be better to buy the others instead.
Hope these help.
Thanks,
Toby Watkins

This is a Maths / STEM project lesson designed around students starting a wholesale business in either the fashion or technology industry. Students will be expected to create a brand, calculate costs and work out profit for their potential business. Feedback from running this lesson in the past has been extremely positive from students, with most excited by the idea of starting their own business, and appreciating the massive role maths would have in this. They will have to make several key decisions including deciding on whether to import or produce and how many products to order based on demand.
Throughout the lesson, students will have to calculate the optimal business model by calculating potential profits based on a given formula. They will also need to carry out several financial calculations, before presenting back to the class.
This was designed for year 10 students, but could be used in other years. The main idea was to promote maths in context, as well as to increase understanding of maths involved in business.
This is a collection of applied questions for the topic of powers and roots. The questions are designed to emphasise student understanding by identifying misconceptions and explaining their answers. Also has questions applying in a geometric context. The worksheet is A5 so can fit 2 to a page to save printing and fit better in student books.
Was designed for high ability year 7 group, but could be used for any year groups up from this up to GCSE.
