Patterns & Codes for Information
Generate and compare multiple solutions that use patterns to transfer information, such as codes and signals

Teaching Table
Set out your lesson
Practise the bounded task in Patterns & Codes for Information; see exact limits before inferring broader coverage.
Copy short patterns and agree on a shared meaning.
Exact directed source edges retained; earlier authorship is not learner attainment.
These supplied stage cards
Scrap paper and pencil; oral/pointing response where appropriate
Read readiness and decide on support without treating prerequisite authoring as learner readiness.
Open Show first and explain its model.
Use Guided Try with support and its separate adult key.
Close Show and guided keys before Try, unless this Try is explicitly supported.
Reflect on an actual attempt, including help used.
Use the supplied screen cards; copying the exact task to paper is optional, not required.
Use only invented scenarios and optional anonymous local notes. Do not request names, photos, family finances, medical data, accounts or uploads. Stop uncomfortable physical activity.
Use only invented scenarios and optional anonymous local notes. Do not request names, photos, family finances, medical data, accounts or uploads. Stop uncomfortable physical activity.
Use the complete materials on screen or print only the current sheet. Keep adult guidance out of learner view. Retain an earlier model only when the current step supplies it as context.
Teaching limits and safe use
These are finite task opportunities, not proof of mastery. Record what was attempted and what support was used.
Real Morse/semaphore systems not taught; partner communication conditional, no device, flashing light or security claim.
Use only invented scenarios and optional anonymous local notes. Do not request names, photos, family finances, medical data, accounts or uploads. Stop uncomfortable physical activity.
Family records and proof options
Keep a record of your learning
Save photos, notes, and attendance. Export a proof packet for compliance or portfolio reviews.

Check understanding
- Describe at least two systems that use patterns of light or sound to transfer information (e.g. Morse code, semaphore, drum signals)
- Design a simple code using light or sound patterns to send a message
- Compare the advantages and disadvantages of different information transfer methods
“Can your child come up with different ways to send a secret message using patterns of light or sound, like Morse code or drum beats?”
