This is a comprehensive powerpoint for GCSE Economics utilising strong scaffolding, videos, exercises and sound information on opportunity cost, factors of production and the PPF. The facilitator does not need to rely on text books or external material, all exercises and answers are provided and all the students need is a book to write in. I have 10 years experience teaching Economics internationally and these classes are built around a socially constructive methodology.

This is a comprehensive three lessons for understanding Opportunity cost in detail with examples, exercises, videos and answers all on the PPT. This then moves on to understanding and explaining the PPF giving students many opportunities to create the graphs, see real examples of tech advancements, calculate the opportunity cost and gain a rich understanding of exam-style material.

This is around two full lessons of plug and play content. There are a variety of exercises for students to do, a youtube video on coffee production, with answers presented after (to make the burden less on the teacher) that allow students to richly understand factors of production, free goods, and factor mobility in a fun and easy manner.

Here I provide three multiple choice tests for GCSE Unit 1 based on ten years of real exam questions so you don’t have to. There is also a seperate file for each test with the answers. the tests are 90% real exam questions, and are listed here : Test One - Opportunity cost and factors of production Test Two - Production possibility frontier and Opportunity cost Test three - Production possibility frontier (this test is for students with weaker ability that did not perform well in the first two, not so useful for students who already have a firm grasp)

This powerpoint is designed to be plug and play. all exercises, videos and answers for the economic problem and opportunity cost are embedded. The time can be stretched from 40 mins to an hour depending on the speed of delivery and exercise time given. This will cover: 1.1 the nature of the economic problem topic 1.1.1 finite resources and unlimited wants Introduction to Opportunity cost with class exercise
