About these posters
Key Stage 1 explains algorithms, programs and debugging in simple words. Key Stage 2 covers the four parts of computational thinking and how a computer works from input to output. Key Stage 3 and 4 give programming key terms and a binary and data poster with a worked example. The wording does not depend on any programming language or product, so it fits whichever tools your school uses. Download A4 or A3 PDFs.
Questions
Do the posters use a specific programming language?
No. The terms apply across languages, so they work with block-based tools and text-based code alike.
What do the binary and data posters include?
Bit, byte, binary, denary and hexadecimal, with one worked binary to denary example.
Which age band should I choose?
KS1 for ages 5 to 7, KS2 for 7 to 11, KS3-4 for 11 to 16.
Can I print A3?
Yes. All posters come as A4 and A3 PDFs.
