Ideally printed on A3, students write about each part of the computer shown in the boxes and label the parts they can see.
Space for teacher feedback and a gap task/extension/homework task to find one more part of the computer and define/label it.
I've used this with year 7, but equally would suit up to GCSE and as low as year 5/6. Enjoy!
This activity gets students to complete a profit and loss account for the fictional, Barmy Burgers. Students must use all the data on the handout to complete the various activities.
This is part of a differentiated task - there are three handouts which you might give to all students to complete in succession, or group students based on ability.
If basing on ability, this is not the most challenging of the activities.

This is a four page booklet designed for GCSE Business Studies to introduce Working Capital.
Students must first (on page 2) decide whether each item is an asset or liability and whether the assets are fixed or current and the liabilities are long-term or current.
On page 3 they review what assets and liabilities are.
On page 4 they must write the formula for working capital (Current Assets - Current Liabilities) and then calculate in an exam style question.
Enjoy!
Print in colour and laminate. Designed on A3, so they won't pixelate if printed in big!
Ideal for any primary classroom to visually show the three symbols.
Enjoy.

Obviously I don't own the music, but it's a free resource!

Enjoy, for free!
I've been doing some work on planning for questioning and come up with this presentation as a tool to improve my questioning technique.
I plan the questions I am going to ask and use Pose, Pause, Pounce, Bounce (NOT MY IDEA!) - I think this is a concept from Teacher Toolkit, though I could be wrong. My idea is the planning tool and the wait time.
Teachers should write their planned questions on separate slides using the template, perhaps moving the circle in the top right hand corner to identify whether the question is open or closed (this helps me to ensure the majority of the questions I ask are open questions).
Use the tool for a starter or plenary by showing the question (by clicking the yellow POSE button). Allow 15 seconds thinking time (by clicking the PAUSE button), the soothing Jeopardy music will play. Click POUNCE to ask for an answer from the student and then BOUNCE to ask the student to select someone who will answer the next question (or the teacher could do this).
I hope this helps!
Enjoy.
An editable template for a great starter activity (or plenary/review!).
Simply change the questions on the wooden panels. Delete and resize if you need less panels.
The 2nd slide is differentiated, so the more challenging questions are at the end.
I don't own the format, obviously, so this resource is shared for free. I add the theme tune too, but for copyright reasons I can't share on TES!
Enjoy!
Teacher PowerPoint and student handout to guide them through coding a rock, paper, scissors game using Block Editor on the Micro Bit website.
The lesson includes two extension challenges.
I start by playing rock, paper, scissors the old fashioned way, just so they get the idea of how the game works. Students then code it, add to the device and play the game themselves using their Micro:bit. Quite fun!
Enjoy.

Perfectly suited to EdExcel GCSE Business Studies; topic 1.3.2.
Enjoy.
