Algorithms Unplugged is a five-mission KS1 Computing activity book mapped to the DfE National Curriculum for algorithms, and it needs no computer at all. Children learn that an algorithm is a set of clear step-by-step instructions, put the steps for making toast in the right order, give a robot precise instructions, spot a step that is in the wrong order, and steer a robot around a grid using forwards, turn left and turn right — before writing and testing their own algorithm. Most questions are auto-marked on screen, or the whole book can be printed with a full answer key. Includes teacher, parent and pupil notes and is fully SEND-friendly with high-contrast and large-text modes.
Programming Detective KS3 is a five-mission Year 8 computing activity book mapped to the DfE National Curriculum for programming at Key Stage 3. Pupils identify the three programming constructs — sequence, selection and iteration — store values in variables, name data types (integer, string, boolean and real/float), use operators and design algorithms in pseudocode or a flowchart, then find and fix bugs and read simple Python. Every knowledge question is auto-marked on screen, or the whole book can be printed with a full answer key. Includes teacher, parent and pupil notes and is fully SEND-friendly with high-contrast and large-text modes.
Networks & the Internet KS3 is a five-mission Year 9 computing activity book mapped to the DfE National Curriculum for computer networks including the internet. Pupils define a network as two or more devices sharing data, separate a LAN from a WAN, distinguish the World Wide Web from the internet it runs on, identify routers, switches, servers, clients and IP addresses, and explain how data travels in packets protected by protocols such as HTTP and HTTPS, encryption and strong passwords. Every question is auto-marked on screen, or the whole book can be printed with a full answer key. Includes teacher, parent and pupil notes and is fully SEND-friendly with high-contrast and large-text modes.
Coding & Algorithms Detective KS2 is a five-mission Computing activity book mapped to the DfE National Curriculum for Key Stage 2 Computer Science (algorithms and programming). Children learn what an algorithm and a program are, identify sequence, repetition/loops and selection (if…then), and use logical reasoning to detect and correct errors by debugging a mixed-up set of steps — before decomposing an everyday task and writing their own algorithm. Missions 1–3 are auto-marked on screen, or the whole book can be printed with a full answer key. Includes teacher, parent and pupil notes and is fully SEND-friendly with high-contrast and large-text modes.
Information Technology Explorer KS2 is a five-mission Computing activity book mapped to the DfE National Curriculum for information technology at Key Stage 2. Children learn to choose appropriate software for a job — a word processor for writing, a spreadsheet for numbers and data, presentation software for slideshows and paint software for pictures — explore the cells, rows and columns of a spreadsheet, search the web with sensible keywords, judge how reliable online information is, and collect and present their own data as a chart while saving work with clear file names and folders. Most questions are auto-marked on screen, or the whole book can be printed with a full answer key. Includes teacher, parent and pupil notes and is fully SEND-friendly with high-contrast and large-text modes.
