Factors of Production

(0)
This gorgeous introduction to the factors of production shows you in detail how Economics divides Labour, Land, Capital & Enterprise. The video shows the factors of production in a quite nostalgic way, which my students really enjoyed spotting the references to. (If you have a bell or buzzer you can make it even more fun!)

Circular Flow of Income Quiz

This Excel Spreadsheet just helps students to remember the items in the circular flow of income. The sheet is protected, but there is no password if you want to change the formulae. Ideal as a Starter or quick Plenary.

Made in Britain Episode 1

This guide accompanies the first episode of the series with exercises for students to do, before, during and after watching the video. It also provides a timeline, so that you can split the video appropriately. (You will need a copy of the episode for this resource to be useful)

Demand and Supply Shifts Matching cards

(10)
Simple set of matching cards to help students understand demand and supply graph shifts. (Simply cut them up and get the pupils to work out how they go together.) Hope they save somebody ten minutes work.
Make Your Own Elasticity Problem with Sample

Make Your Own Elasticity Problem with Sample

(2)
As a follow up to an Elasticity class I got the students to make their own Elasticity problems. The resulting effort I thought was good enough to use for teaching and shows how much effort students can put into their work. This can either be used as a straight worksheet or an example for others to make their own scenarios. I hope this is useful.
Elasticities Problem Generator

Elasticities Problem Generator

This little Spreadsheet instantly generates problems and answers, so that students can work hard whilst you enjoy a few moments respite. The Spreadsheet formulae have been kept as simple as humanly possible. So once in a while it might try to divide by 0 or throw up ridiculous figures that are most unlikely to occur in real life. If it happens, just press F9 and you will get a new puzzle. Please let me know if there's any gremlins, you like it or if it could be extended in anyway.
iPad on Fire (Demand And Supply)

iPad on Fire (Demand And Supply)

(11)
Students very much enjoy discussing topics in Economics that are relevant to then. This little cluster of resources enables teachers to discuss the recent launch of the Kindle Fire and how it affects demand and supply for the iPad. It includes a student made poster as well in Publisher and PDF Format. Do students think this is the correct interpretation or do thet think they could do it better? (This resource could also be used for ICT when discussing new technology.)
