Collins International Primary Computing series provides in-depth coverage of the Cambridge curriculum frameworks for Primary Computing (0059) and Primary Digital Literacy (0072), as well as the UK national curriculum for Computing at primary level. The course is organised around six themes relating to computing and digital literacy – Our digital world; Content creation; Create with code; How computers work; Connect the world; The power of data. The chapter overviews and lesson summaries show how these themes are developed in Stage 5, helping teachers to plan their course. The Teacher’s Guide offers a detailed lesson plan for every unit, giving guidance on how to run the session, including lesson objectives, reference to key pedagogies, mapping grids, worksheets, resource sheets, answers, support for assessing end-of-chapter projects and ‘Build on this’ extension activities. The lesson plans and introduction provide valuable subject knowledge and support for non-specialists. This includes summaries of the key computing pedagogies used in the resources, and references to further reading to develop teachers’ own practice. Built around an internationally sound pedagogy, this framework for teaching provides real-life contexts and culturally responsive examples into a project-based approach and incorporates all learners’ knowledge, ways of learning, and heritage; where learners are given more of an opportunity to choose appropriate contexts for themselves. The accompanying downloads, available on the Collins site, includes PDF and editable Word versions of all the resources in the Teacher’s Guide, to print and adapt, as well as source files, mapping grids, worksheets, resource sheets and recommended sites to support practical tasks with a host of resources to supplement teaching. Written by Flip Computing, a team of female experts who have a breadth of computing experience across industry, education and research, and their culturally responsive approach provides teachers with an accessible and inclusive learning experience for all ages and inspires greater participation and tech career pathways for all. Supports teachers to prepare learners for a seamless transition to Stage 6.

Oxford International Primary Computing is a complete six year primary computing course that takes a real-life, project based approach to teaching young learners the vital computing skills they will need for the digital world. Each unit builds a series of skills towards the creation of a finalproject, with topics ranging from designing your own robot to programming simple games.Within each stage, six key concepts are covered to give learners not only the skills they need to use technology effectively, but also the knowledge in how to do so creatively, safely and collaboratively:* Control the computer - exploring the vital skills of logic and programming* Working with text -from editing simple text to creating engaging outputs* Handling Data - turning numbers in to useful and easy to understand data* The Internet - how can we use the internet safely, and how can we trust what we read?* Multimedia - harnessing technology creatively for graphics, animations, movies and more* Computing in society - asking big questions about real life applications of technology, from social media safety to the history of the world wide webFor the teacher, the Teacher's Guides provide step-by-step guidance for each lesson, as well as comprehensive information on the knowledge, software and skills required to provide reassurance for specialist and non-specialist teachers alike.
