This second edition of a GCSE computer studies text includes chapters on personal computers and desktop publishing, spreadsheets and their applications, and detailed case studies illustrating how a computer system can revolutionize the working environment. The Data Protection Act is also included, together with project work, an extended section on coursework, advice on how to revise and hints on how to pass examinations. Key words are explained in the text in context and highlighted with bold type, and also explained in an extensive glossary.
A new series of bespoke, full-coverage resources developed for the 2016 AQA and OCR GCSE Computer Science qualifications. Written for the AQA GCSE Computer Science specification for first teaching from 2016, this print Student Book uses an exciting and engaging approach to help students build their knowledge and master underlying computing principles and concepts. Designed to develop computational thinking, programming and problem-solving skills, this resource includes challenges that build on learning objectives, and real-life examples that demonstrate how computer science relates to everyday life. Remember features act as revision references for students and key mathematical skills relevant to computer science are highlighted throughout. A digital Cambridge Elevate-enhanced Edition and a free digital Teacher's Resource are also available.
The aim of this book is to provide an accessible text for students, covering each of the elements in the OCR GCSE (9-1) Computer Science specification J276. It will be invaluable both as a course text and in revision for students nearing the end of the course. It is divided into eight sections, each broken down into manageable chapters of roughly one lesson. Sections 5 and 6 of the textbook cover algorithms and programming concepts with a theoretical approach to provide students with experience of writing, tracing and debugging pseudocode solutions without the aid of a computer. These sections would complement practical programming experience. Each of the eight sections cover one of the major topics in this course, and each subtopic contains sample examination questions from past papers, which can be set as homework.
This book has been specifically updated for Key Stage 4 GCSE and is written by the bestselling mathematics revision guide authors whose previous GCSE revision guide sold in excess of 3/4 million copies. It meets the needs of the estimated 500,000-plus examination candidates who sit the GCSE examination in 1993/4 and onwards. Revise Mathematics is designed and tested to bring your customers success in GCSE Key Stage 4: - The Mathematics revision guide that teachers will recommend - How to achieve the best level 'Intermediate' or 'Higher' examinations - Full revision text with fully worked and explained answers - New-specimen questions organized in Attainment Targets with checked answers to monitor progress - Plenty of exam practice with real past papers - Good study and revision tips and help with examination strategy - From the publishers you can trust - Macmillan Revise Mathematics covers each of the new GCSE attainment targets in turn: Number, Algebra, Shape and Size, and Handling Data. Model questions with fully checked solutions provided by the Examination Boards for 1994, are included along with extensive exam-type revision questions. Revise Mathematics has been prepared for use by candidates working for 'intermediate' or 'higher' grade results in the examination.
