The Matrix Computing for 11-14 series provides comprehensive cover of the Key Stage 3 National Computing Curriculum. It is thorough and well presented, with clear explanations and lots of practice exercises. There is also a refreshing attention to the creative aspects of Computing. For example the sections on using App Inventor allow students really enjoy building their own apps which actually run on their own phones using an interface similar to Scratch.
Topics covered are:
- Computational Thinking
- App Inventor
- Data and the CPU
- Introducing Python
- Information Technology
- Creative Communication
