NEW UPDATED VERISON FOR SEPT 2023 SPECIFICATION
A high quality revision map for ‘What is Business?’ which has been created for the updated 2023 specification AQA A-Level Business course (7131/7132)
It has been designed to allow students to review their knowledge on essential aspects of this unit. It makes an excellent revision aid in preparation for the exam or could be used in class. To maximise their benefit they should be printed out on A3 paper.
These revision maps proved popular with my classes and I am busy updating the other units in preparation for September so please check back when the other units are available as one bundle:
What is Business?
Managers, Leadership & Decision Making
Marketing Management
Operational Management
Financial Management
Human Resource Management
I really appreciate all the support and feedback given.
A-Level Business Connections Revision Activity
A great class activity to help students make connections between the many topics in AQA A-Level Business (7132) and also develop their skill of application.
This resource contains
48 Topics/Concepts
32 Businesses
16 Connective Words
Print the resource & cut out into individual card and create three draw piles (Topics, Businesses & Connectives). The activity can then be run in a number of different ways depending on the level of challenge you wish to set or the amount of time you have for the activity.
The simple format would be to draw 3 topic cards, 2 connective cards & 1 business card. The challenge would be for students to create a paragraph (verbally or written) which would use all of the cards. This can be changed up in a number of ways:
- More/fewer cards used
- Each student draws their own set
- Same topics & connectives but every student gets a different business
I hope you find this resource helpful

AQA GCSE Business (9-1) Revision Card Bundle
A set of revision/flash cards for all the units from AQA GCSE Business (9-1)
Each unit has been broken down into a series of quick-fire questions about a particular aspect of the specification which make them perfect for some fast-paced revision either at the end of the teaching of the unit or in preparation for exams.
Potential ideas for use:
Flash Card Speed Date - Each student is issued with one of the revision cards and has a set time to complete it (5-10 minutes) then students can do a speed date around the classroom where they collabartively share or test their peers on the revision,
Pass The Revision - Each student is given 45 seconds to add something to the card before passing it on to the next person. When the card returns to where it started it should be packed full of knowledge.
The download is in PPT form so you can edit/breakdown the slides further depending on the number of students in your groups.
I hope you find the resource helpful. Please note that answers are not provided. The cards are designed to be prompts/scaffolding for students to revise from.
Thanks for viewing!

AQA GCSE Business Unit 1 - Learning Grid
A great resource to develop they key examination skill of application for students. You will required dice and some print outs of Unit 1 items from various AQA Past Papers.
Students work in paris with a learning grid, one dice and a different item each. Students take it in turns to roll the dice twice which will give them coordinates for the learning grid. Both students then must attempt the question for their given item.
This activity really helps students understand the relevance of context in their answers.
