I have put together a topic checker for the OCR A292 Business & People exam. It covers all the main topics for the exam with some important bits that the students need to know along with some exam questions and extension activities. Could be worked on in class in preparation for the exam or given out as a revision pack. If you enjoy please leave a comment. Thanks!

A great class activity to help students make connections between the many topics in AQA A-Level Business (7132) and also develop their skill of application. This resource contains 48 Topics/Concepts 32 Businesses 16 Connective Words Print the resource & cut out into individual card and create three draw piles (Topics, Businesses & Connectives). The activity can then be run in a number of different ways depending on the level of challenge you wish to set or the amount of time you have for the activity. The simple format would be to draw 3 topic cards, 2 connective cards & 1 business card. The challenge would be for students to create a paragraph (verbally or written) which would use all of the cards. This can be changed up in a number of ways: - More/fewer cards used - Each student draws their own set - Same topics & connectives but every student gets a different business I hope you find this resource helpful Thanks Ben

A set of revision cards for the unit ‘Finance’ from AQA GCSE Business (9-1) The unit has been broken down into a series of quick-fire questions about a particular aspect of the specification which make them perfect for some fast-paced revision either at the end of the teaching of the unit or in preparation for exams. Potential ideas for use: Flash Card Speed Date - Each student is issued with one of the revision cards and has a set time to complete it (5-10 minutes) then students can do a speed date around the classroom where they collabartively share or test their peers on the revision, Pass The Revision - Each student is given 45 seconds to add something to the card before passing it on to the next person. When the card returns to where it started it should be packed full of knowledge. The download is in PPT form so you can edit/breakdown the slides further depending on the number of students in your groups. I hope you find the resource helpful Thanks for viewing!

A revision map for the second unit of the new AQA GCSE Business (9-1) - Business Operations. The revision map is perfect scaffolding for students to allow them to re-cap some of the main topics from the unit. I would advise printing this onto A3. I hope you find the resource useful.

Classic game of I know someone who but based on the A&W case study for OCR Business Studies. Students must find someone else in the room who can answer the questions on the sheet. They can only ask each person once and cannot ask themselves.

Case study and questions to follow relating to a window manufacturer.

Revision game for key topics of Business Studies GCSE. Instructions are included in the PowerPoint. Scorecards can also be printed for use.

Great revision game for key business terms. Similar take on blockbusters as students split into two teams and choose a letter and are given a key term description which they must guess correctly to get to colour in that circle red or yellow. Turn then passes to the other team and contiuned to be played like a classic game of connect four till one team scores 4 in a row. (?) circles are used to ask a question instead of a key term.

Co-operative learning resource. Can be created by teacher or students for a topic of choice. Students then use the cards to quiz each other in the class and once they have done they swap cards and quiz up with another student.

Whole class activity. Students must find someone else in the class who can answer one of the questions on the sheet. They write the answer in and then sign it for them. Great for revision of some key Business Studies topics!
