Hand over what was built and what remains
1 · Learn
A project handoff should explain purpose, operation, dependencies, tests, known limitations and maintenance needs. Distinguish implemented features from planned ones and local checks from deployed evidence. Preserve enough information for another person to reproduce the result.
Do not label unfinished work complete because the deadline arrived. A clear limitation and next action are more useful than an unsupported success claim.
2 · Worked example
A handoff can state 'local persistence test passed; production restore untested' rather than claiming the entire recovery system is proven.
3 · Your turn
What should a handoff say about a feature that exists in source but has not been deployed?
Check your answer
That it is implemented locally and not yet deployed or verified in the live environment.
4 · Apply your learning
Prepare a handoff for your project with links to test evidence and a prioritised list of unresolved issues.
Adult guidance and safety
Use an approved sandbox, invented data and test accounts. Do not probe other systems or expose credentials. Retain test evidence and accessibility checks; these teaching models are not a completed practical project or a specified GCSE qualification.
Open your writing and drawing pad
Write, draw or show your working. Use a mouse, pen or finger. This pad is not a submitted answer.
Not saved to your account. Download your drawing as PNG and your typed notes as TXT before leaving or refreshing. They are separate files. Do not enter private information.
Open a picture saved on this device to draw on it again. Opening replaces the drawing, but Undo can restore it. PNG only, up to 4 MB and 4096 × 4096 pixels. The picture stays in this browser; it is not uploaded. Paper lines in a saved picture become part of that picture.
Clear the drawing? Your typed notes will stay. You can undo this action.
Your pad is empty.
Open a UTF-8 TXT file from this device, up to 40 KB and 10,000 characters. It stays in this browser. Opening can be undone until you type again. Downloads keep a new copy; they do not change the file you opened.
Replace the notes on this page with the opened file? Download the current notes first if you want to keep them.
Typed notes are not submitted answers.
Check a calculation · Year 5 onward
Use this only when your teacher or adult allows a calculator for the task. Show your thinking first. It does not replace mental or written arithmetic and does not mark your lesson answer.
Powers, roots and trigonometry · Year 7 onward
Use only when the task allows a calculator. Choose one operation at a time and record your working. Trigonometry here always uses degrees (DEG), not radians. Inverse sine, cosine and tangent return an angle, not a reciprocal. Keep exact fractions and π in answers when requested.
Approximate numerical results use up to 12 significant digits. Inverse sine returns −90° to 90°, inverse cosine 0° to 180°, and inverse tangent −90° to 90°; these are principal values, not every possible solution of a trigonometric equation.
