YOU MUST HAVE MS ACCESS TO USE THIS LESSON (THE FBI FILES IS A DATABASE!).
Teachers need to show students how to carry out a query using Microsoft Access first.
Students can then use the database provided to independently practice their ability to carry out a query by answering questions 1 - 7 on the provided handout.
Teachers should then bring the class together to play 'Guess Who' using the PowerPoint and database. Teachers display the clues to each of the four people and students should carry out a query to find the correct person. A reward for each quickest query-carry-outer could be provided.
A long activity to complete your database lesson for Key Stage 3 ICT or Computing/Computer Science!

A blank, 5 period day, timetable template. Useful to give to students to copy up their weekly timetable or for teachers to display on the wall to show primary classes which lessons are scheduled for when.
Uploaded as a Word document so it can be coloured/typed on to suit. There are two versions of the five period day to suit when you may have lunchtime. There's a six period day uploaded separately if that helps too!
Enjoy!

Easy to fill in coupons to reward positive behaviour or good work. 8 per page, so they're small enough to print a shed load and have them at hand when marking or teaching.
Teachers just need to fill in the 'IOU' circle with the reward being given (we use VIVOs and just fill in IOU 10 Vivos, but this could easily be house points, commendations etc.)
A tangible method of rewarding your students - they do something good, they something immediately. I get students to fill their name in on the coupon and 'post' them to me so I can reward later in the day when it's more convenient!
Enjoy, for free!
The PowerPoint introduces perimeter to students before taking them through three sections (could be three separate lessons).
- working out perimeter of squares & rectangles
- working out perimeter of shapes without measurements displayed
- working out perimeter of shapes with part measurements displayed
I've included the student work booklet - this has also been separated into sheets if it makes it easier (not additional resources).
Differentiated and fully resourced short set of lessons for KS2 Maths or lower ability KS3/recap.
Answers pop up on the PowerPoint, apart from sheet 2 measurements as these depend on how you print the handout!
As always, your feedback would be appreciated. Everything is owned/created by me. One or two images have come from a royalty free stock photo site, no permission is required for these to be used in my resource.
Enjoy!!
***If you have already bought my lessons on Averages, DO NOT BUY this resource! This is a combination of all four lessons.*** Video preview available below!
This resource combines all four 'averages' lessons into one short unit of work for KS2 or KS3 maths at a discounted price compared to buying them individually (£12 usually in total). Almost a 30% discount here!
The 50+ slide PowerPoint introduces each of the averages separately. Each section/lesson/part includes two teacher led examples (answers on PowerPoint), two activities that students can complete with help/guidance, a longer independent task and review.
All of the worksheets have been combined into a student work booklet to be completed over the series of lessons.
All answers appear on the PowerPoint or on the answer sheets.
Enjoy and, as always, any feedback would be greatly appreciated.

This is part of a series of lessons for KS2 or KS3 maths on Averages. This lesson introduces the Range. All four averages lessons are listed separately OR as one short unit of work at a discounted price, just check my other resources!
The PowerPoint introduces the range average then gives two teacher led activities to guide students through working out the mode. After each teacher led part, the students get a chance to try themselves, where they can ask questions or even work in pairs, these appear at the top of their handout.
After discovering what the range is and having a go with help, students are given an independent task to work out the range.
An answer sheet is provided for the teacher too, and all answers pop up on the PowerPoint itself!
The lesson is reviewed by students feeding back at the bottom of their handout. All images are either royalty free or made by myself (those coins and football shirts took some work!).
Enjoy ;-)

This is part of a series of lessons for KS2 or KS3 maths on Averages. This lesson introduces the Median. All four averages lessons are listed separately OR as one short unit of work at a discounted price (£10), just check my other resources!
The PowerPoint introduces the median then gives two teacher led activities to guide students through finding the median. After each teacher led part, the students get a chance to try themselves, where they can ask questions or even work in pairs.
After discovering what the median is and having a go with help, students are given an independent task to work out the median. Some of the answers involve finding the middle value between two given numbers, so not just putting the values in order!

An introduction to organisation/organization charts.
This resource includes a lesson PowerPoint (full lesson), three differentiated activities with increasing difficulty and a lesson review (exit note).
Teachers could either give students the sheet to draw all three charts or give students different examples to complete based on ability, which is why there are different versions.
Teachers may also wish to get students to create the charts themselves OR could use the templates provided - or lower ability students could be provided with the templates.
All companies are fictional, logos designed by me,
Enjoy.
This activity gets students to complete a profit and loss account for the fictional, Flippin’ Pancakes. 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 the more challenging activity.

This is a four page student booklet that shows an example balance sheet and profit and loss account.
Students should complete all speech bubbles noting what each area of the financial documents shows OR how they’re calculated.
There’s a final question from GCSE Applied Business Studies, outlining the format a good answer would take.
Enjoy!
This starter task introduces whether businesses OWN or OWE something. Essential when calculating working capital.
There's a PowerPoint with answers. I've also uploaded a Working Capital booklet in my free resources which would follow this starter nicely and be an almost entire lesson!
Enjoy.
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!
These instructions show you step by step how to LINK to a YouTube clip from your lesson PowerPoints.
There are more complicated instructions to actually EMBED clips into your presentations within my resources (free).
Once set up, you click the link within your presentation and then you'll be taken directly to your chosen clip. This saves having the link, copying and pasting it in, and then loading up YouTube and makes for a more professional approach to presenting your lesson.
These instructions are correct at the time of writing and work for most versions of PowerPoint. There's no need to feedback if they don't work for you, it might be your computer/version.
Enjoy!
Here I've outlined one way to embed YouTube clips into your lesson PowerPoints. If this doesn't work, or is too complicated, search my resources for the other method!
These instructions go through step-by-step how to embed YouTube clips into PowerPoint. This is a temperamental process, so if it doesn't work, try my other method (don't feedback to tell me it doesn't work, it works for most!).
The videos are actually embedded into your presentation so there's no need to visit YouTube. You will need an internet connection when you play the presentation though.
Good luck! Enjoy...
