Each unit in The Computing Curriculum consists of a set of lessons numbered to indicate the order of teaching.

In every unit we provide lesson plans, slides, activity sheets, homework, and assessments.

You can teach each year group's units in any order, aside from the units about programming, which you should teach in sequence.
