DO NOT buy if you already have my Cambridge National Resource or my OCR Homework Booklet! This is a generic introduction to Break-Even and would nicely follow my lesson on Fixed and Variable Costs (not introduced in this lesson). Two activities relating to Break-Even. Full lesson PowerPoint.

Suitable for any Business Specification where students need to know what Fixed and Variable Costs are. Also discussed (and has an activity) for working out total costs and profit etc. DO NOT BUY if you already have my TASK 5 for Cambridge Nationals. This resource includes ALL theory notes, loads of activities. All top quality. Enjoy.

A FULL lesson on Business Pricing Strategies. DO NOT buy if you've got my Cambridge Nationals resource. This resource is not tailored to any specification or age group, ideal for all! Includes Penetration Pricing, Cost Plus, Price Skimming, Psychological Pricing and Competitive Pricing Strategies. Includes introductions to each, a note taking activity and a review activity to apply knowledge. The notes pages can also be printed for accessible revision if needed for GCSE or 'A' Level exams. All top quality. 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!

Two activities to introduce five laws to students. I teach low ability GCSE Computer Science, and this is perfect for them. Specifically mapped to OCR Computer Science J276, though good for any lessons covering these five laws: - Data Protection Act 1998 - Computer Misuse Act 1990 - Copyright Designs and Patents Act 1988 - Creative Commons Licensing - Freedom of Information Act 2000 There are TWO activities here which make teaching this (slightly dull) topic easier. 1. Laws Jigsaw - Print on A3. Students cut out all pieces and connect to make 5 jigsaws, one about each law. There's an answer sheet which I stick at the front if students struggle they're allowed a peek! 2. Laws Summary - Students fill in the missing words. Answers are provided to discuss. There is also a help sheet with potential words to use; this is again stuck at the front and students are allowed one or two peeks whilst completing the task. There are TWO versions of the sheet, one with letter prompts to make it easier. The harder one is good because students often use different words, so good for discussion. Enjoy.

Simple starter or plenary suitable for any subject. Adaptable, so use over and over again - even with the same class. Ideal time for discussion of key terms as they are revealed. Enjoy.

FULL lesson on Business Communication Methods (no lesson plan, just worksheets in booklet). These are best used AFTER you’ve taught, or at least introduced, verbal/non-verbal communication and internal/external communication. I actually mark page 2 of the booklet as a test out of 20 to assess understanding of the topic. Space on the front for teacher assessment WWW and EBi. Starter - Identify the methods of communication from the images. Peer marked. Extension - think of more methods of communication Main - Questions (after teaching) on verbal/non-verbal and internal/external communication Main 2 - Give a suitable method of communication for Review (or second lesson) - rate methods of communication on speed, cost and whether receipt is confirmed. Enjoy.

NEW! See a video preview of part of this resource below! Reading the description will help you see if this is suitable for your students' ability. I would say, however, that this resource is ideally suited to upper KS2 / lower KS3. This resource is a FULL lesson which introduces Mean Average. 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 goes through what mean average is/how it's calculated. It then has two examples that can be done with your class (teacher led) - all answers are on the PowerPoint too. After each of the teacher led examples is one that students need to try themselves (these are labelled 'try it' on the PowerPoint). These are at the top of the worksheet. Students could try these, with help if needed - this could even be done is pairs. Finally, there's an independent task that has ten examples for students to calculate. These include numbers in the thousands, so differentiation by task is possible. Some answers include decimals. An answer sheet is provided for the teacher too. 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 took some work!). Enjoy ;-)

This lesson introduces students to the different connections available for digital devices (wired and wireless connections). Students should mind map their own ideas first, before answers are revealed (click on the slide to reveal answers!). Students must then research OR use the support sheet to group advantages and disadvantages of each connection type. On the back page of the booklet is a review of the lesson where students must decide on the BEST method of connection; there are more answers, but the IDEAL answer is shown on the PowerPoint itself and students should be told this! Enjoy!

Teacher instructions to help with tracking data for departments, school wide or individual class trackers. These instructions show how to insert an IF statement to compare a grade (for a unit/exam/module etc.) to a target, to show whether it's above, below or meeting target grade. Two separate instructions for grades A*-G and numbers 9-1. Ideal for whole staff training. More advanced staff should be adapting the formulae to suit their needs. Enjoy.

Instructions for teachers on how to create and use look up tables within Excel to calculate grades from scores automatically. Equally, you might use these instructions when teaching this skill to students. I hope these instructions are fairly straight forward. I used Excel 2013 for the print screens, though the skill is similar in whatever Excel version is being used. Great for staff training. ALL staff should know how to do this to save time when tracking data. Enjoy!

A nice little sheet to get students thinking about Business costs. Students get help by finding the words in the word search! Enjoy.

Two example Cash Flow Forecasting Questions. Two answer sheets for students to fill out. Enjoy.
