Part of the KS3 computing scheme of work (Years 7 to 9).
KS3 Computing Year 9: How AI Works and Advanced Thinking Puzzles is a step-by-step online learn guide for Key Stage 3 pupils in Years 7 to 9. It covers what is artificial intelligence?, how machines learn: training data and patterns, classification and decision trees, how chatbots generate text, testing AI: accuracy, errors and limits, advanced puzzles: graphs and networks and advanced puzzles: encoding and efficiency, then brings it all together with mixed retrieval and unit challenge.
There are 23 short steps of about 15 minutes (roughly 6 hours of learning), each made of bite-size explanations with key words, tables and examples, and every bite-size is followed by an activity you check straight away. Key terms include Artificial intelligence, Narrow AI, Machine learning, Training data, Classification, Classifier, Large language model, Token, Accuracy, Test data, Graph and Node.
