Cambridge Primary Computing Learner’s Book 6

The Cambridge Primary Computing Learner’s Book 6 is part of the Cambridge Primary Computing (0059) curriculum, designed for learners aged 10–11 (Stage 6). It builds computational thinking, digital literacy, and programming skills while aligning with the updated 2023 Cambridge Primary Computing framework.

Key Features:

1. Curriculum-Aligned Content
   • Covers five key strands:
     • Computational Thinking (algorithms, logic, debugging)
     • Programming (Scratch, Python basics, problem-solving)
     • Data & Information (spreadsheets, databases, data visualization)
     • Digital Literacy (online safety, responsible tech use)
     • Hardware & Networks (computer systems, internet basics)
2. Hands-On, Practical Approach
   • Step-by-step coding exercises (block-based & text-based)
   • Real-world computing challenges (e.g., creating games, simulations)
   • Unplugged activities (offline problem-solving tasks)
3. Progressive Skill Development
   • Builds on Stages 1–5 with more advanced concepts
   • Introduces Python programming (variables, loops, conditionals)
   • Expands on spreadsheet modeling (formulas, graphs)
4. Engaging & Interactive
   • Colorful illustrations and clear explanations
   • Collaborative projects (pair/group work)
   • Digital citizenship focus (cybersecurity, ethical tech use)
5. Assessment & Reflection
   • End-of-unit review questions
   • Self-assessment checklists
   • Prepares learners for Cambridge Primary Progression Tests

Sample Topics Covered:
