Please note: Fortnite is obviously not my product, this is for education purposes only, NOT for sale, and no copyright material is used within this resource AT ALL.
This editable single slide starter has space for five differentiated questions and is based around a Fortnite™ theme. It’ll make the start of your lesson a little more engaging and should grab the attention of boys in particular, as well as making you look cooler!
You MUST follow the question categories in order (below) otherwise they’ll catch you out and it’ll show you know nothing about Fortnite! Categories are based on the rarity of weapons within the game.
Common - easiest question
Uncommon
Rare
Epic
Legendary - the most difficult question
Alternative use: You could put more than one question in each box and direct different groups of students to complete each box.
Fortnite itself is PEGI rated for players 12+ - so not a good idea to use this in a Primary setting.
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.

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.

Ideal plenary to an E-Safety lesson, or an ice-breaker to a PSHE Internet Safety session. There is a sound track to the first slide too; save everything to one folder - if it doesn't work you may need to set it up! Macros enable the shapes to move, so make sure they are enabled when a warning appears.
Hope you enjoy!
Exactly what the title says!
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!
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.
Obviously I don't own the music, but it's a free resource!
A simple PowerPoint which gives your learners one minute to complete a task/discussion/thinking time.
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!

An A4 sheet that asks learners to calculate fixed, variable and total costs from a given scenario.
Comes as a printable PDF, a fillable PDF that can be hosted online and with an answer sheet too.
Perfectly suited to EdExcel GCSE Business Studies; topic 1.3.2.
Enjoy.
