An activity that would be good as an end of topic review. The monopoly question inception has questions inside a question inside a question. All the PDF's are editable so can be uploaded into each other and create a professional looking document at the end. Students must answer the following question: To what extent do monopolies exploit consumers? And fill in the Monopoly Sheet. To do this they must categorise the following eight arguments into arguments for and arguments against the statement. They can then be uploaded into the Monopoly Sheet which is the main document. However, none of these arguments are complete and each need students to complete various tasks before they can be included into the main document. These include gap fills, word searches, true or false, definitions, explanations, interpreting pictures, evaluation, including key words etc. Once they are completed they must be saved as PDF's and uploaded into the main document (which is also saved as a PDF). When using this resource I didnt tell the students the titles of the PDF's but renamed them into 'argument 1, argument 2, argument 3 etc.' This prevents any clues being given away. At the end of the lesson students have effectively worked together to write an essay plan which can also be used for revision. I found this lesson to be very successful as it stretches and challenges more able students, but still has opportunities for weaker students to shine and encourages them to work together to consolidate their knowledge. Topics covered include: - Price Discrimination - Static Efficiency: Allocative Efficiency, Productive Efficiency and X Efficiency - Dynamic Efficiency - Business Objectives - Economies of Scale - Natural Monopoly - Output and Prices - Minimum Efficient Scale - Evaluation

A one page worksheet that examines the recent dispute between Tescos and Unilever. It asks questions on oligopoly, monopsony, monopoly and concentration ratios and is a good way to increase students knowledge of current affairs. I have included the PDF version and the word document version so that questions can be edited.

A one page monopolistic competition worksheet getting students to apply their knowledge and assess advantages and disadvantages of a monopolistically competitive firm. There is also an accompanying powerpoint presentation and my answers which I have handwritten and scanned in.

A fun worksheet that can either be used on laptops with editable PDF's or printed and given as a worksheet in class. There are 10 theory of the firm diagrams that students have to give a title to. Will encourage students to label their diagrams fully! It could be used as an extension task, lesson starter, lesson activity or homework. Diagrams include: - Natural monopoly - Oligopoly kinked demand curve - Diminishing marginal returns - Monopoly - Monopoly and DWL - Marginal Cost - Economies of Scale/Envelope Curve - Shut down point - Allocative efficiency - Break even/ contestable monopoly/ normal profits

This two page economics worksheet is topical for the upcoming elections and could be used as a end of year lesson, for revision, or during lessons on supply side policies. It gets students to analyse the impacts of each of the proposed policies and justify their opinions. The policies are: - Reducing corporation tax - Making university education free - Restricting immigration There are also two extension questions for students who need a stretch and challenge. This resource also includes some suggested teacher answers.

A fun game that can be used for revision or a starter activity that gets students to identify in teams the negative externalities in the diagram sheet in turn. They will be awarded with 10 points for every correct diagram they select. However, if they choose a wrong diagram there is a wipeout and they start back at zero points. The winning team will be the one who has the most points at the end of the game.

The fundamental economic problem worksheet with questions on opportunity cost, ceteris paribus, assumptions, infinite wants and finite resources and positive and normative statements. This is the first worksheet I give my students once we have covered some basic concepts.

A game that introduces some economic concepts to new students such as utility, inequality in wealth, objectives and functions of money. The game require each student to be given a small bag of differing amount of sweets, then they follow the three rounds and have a class discussion. I have also included a sheet which I print in A3 then get students to write down what kind of questions economics answer and topics we may study.

This resource contains two worksheets designed to challenge students and apply their knowledge of behavioural economics to solve market failures in the fast food market and increase household recycling. Both worksheets come with suggested teacher answers and can prompt a good discussion at the end of the lesson when deciding whether nudges are more effective in the fast food market or to encourage recycling. The worksheets are different difficulties, with the recycling worksheet being the more difficult of the two.

This is a short handout I give to students who want to understand why sometimes the PPF curve is curved and at other times it is straight. As an extension task they are asked to show why the opportunity cost increases when approaching specialisation.

Perfect competition worksheet, suitable for AS students.

A labour market failure revision booklet originally designed for OCR F583 but may also be suitable for AQA labour market topics. The first half has blank spaces for students work work through themselves, I usually print each slide in A4. The second half if a teacher copy with the answers to the questions filled in. Contents of the slides include . . . A) Causes of labour market failure - Monopsony - Trade unions - Unemployment - Economic inactivity - Segmented labour markets - Discrimination - Skill shortages - Immobility of labour - geographical and occupational immobility - Information failure B) Assessing Labour Market Policies - Education and training - Information provision - Regional policy - National minimum wage - Strengthening trade union power - Leaving to the free market

A differentiated monopoly themes worksheet which allows students to choose their level and pushes them further. Stretches and challenges more able students. A game format to encourage students to try their best. Also includes teacher answers. Also covers natural monopoly and price discrimination.

A question sheet for economic growth that asks students to find conflicts with the other macroeconomic objectives. Good to get students to apply their knowledge after doing advantages and disadvantages of economic growth, and learning about long run and short run economic growth.

A two page monetary policy worksheet, specifically focusing on expansionary monetary policy with teacher answers.

There are two documents in this resource. The first 'conflict tables activity' gets students to identify how economic growth may conflict with the other macroeconomic objectives themselves. They must provide a balanced answer and complete the table. The answers to this worksheet are on the second document 'conflict tables analysis or evaluation'. Here potential conflicts are explained and students must identify whether they are analysis statements or evaluative statements. You could use this second document as teacher answers, for a short starter activity, as a pre-exam handout or to help struggling students. You could also extend the activity by getting students to draw diagrams that support each of the macroeconomic objectives examined. The macroeconomic objectives examined in relation to economic growth are: - Inflation - Unemployment - Balance of Trade - Environmental Objectives - Income Inequality - Government Budget Deficit

A labour market revision booklet made specifically for OCR F583 Economics of Work and Leisure but also could be used for AQA Business Economics and the Distribution of Income. The presentation can be printed as two booklets. The first 16 slides has blanks which students can fill in themselves. I normally print them as one A4 piece of paper for each slide. The next 16 slides is a teacher copy with the answers on. The content included in this booklet is: - The supply of labour by the individual and to the industry - Non pecuniary factors - The demand for labour and MRP theory - Elasticity of labour demand and labour supply - Factors that shift the labour demand and labour supply curve - Wage determination and its influences - Economic rent and transfer earnings

A macroeconomic logic puzzle that would be good for an end of term revision lesson. In this quiz each word should be cut out and placed in an envelope labelled with the grid square e.g. A1, D5 etc. Start with giving them A1, they should be able to deduce the other squares from there using the clues they receive every time they find a word. There is not a specific order that this game has to be solved in either so any approach is fine. This is quite a difficult quiz and should last them almost a whole hour. They may also need some hints. The fastest a group has managed to solve it in is 40 minutes.

An AS economics game using true or false questions to solve an incomplete QR code. When scanned the quote says 'Education is the best economic policy there is' which was first said by Tony Blair. This would be ideal as a quick end of term game that can be used for revision. A teacher copy of the correct QR code and correct answers to the questions is also included. You can adapt the questions if needed to suit another subject.

Economics scategories for AS microeconomics. Students are given a trigger word and they have to write down as many words or statements that go with this word as they can think of in three minutes, this can either be done in teams or individually. There is an macro economic example to start off to demonstrate the game to the students. To win students must come up with as many words as they can think of that are related to the trigger word and that no one else has thought of. You score as you would do in scategories, for example if both students write down PED for example, neither of them can get a point for it. This encourages students to think outside of the box. After each trigger word there is a slide with suggestions of what students could have put, but there will be far more than just these and ultimately it will be up to the teacher to decide whether a phrase is related or not.
