What this worksheet teaches

• Organise files into folders and describe why file names and file types (.jpg, .pdf, .docx) matter.
• Identify common software categories: operating system, application, browser.
• Convert between simple units of digital storage - bits, bytes, kilobytes, megabytes.
• Describe basic online safety rules: strong passwords, not sharing personal details, telling an adult about anything uncomfortable.

How to use this worksheet

For the storage-unit conversions, let your child check a real file's size on screen. Seeing that a photo is a few megabytes makes the numbers in the questions mean something.

Frequently asked questions

Does my child need a computer to finish this worksheet?

No, it is fully answerable on paper. But the file, folder and storage questions land much better if a laptop is available for a two-minute demonstration.

Is this aligned with school computer syllabuses?

It covers the standard Grade 4 computer-literacy block - the input-process-output cycle, hardware and software, file management, storage units and basic internet safety - which appears in most school ICT curricula.

My child confuses memory and storage constantly. Is that normal?

It is the most common misconception at this level, largely because everyday speech uses 'memory' for both. Anchor it to 'RAM forgets when the power stops' and the confusion usually clears.
