Average Rate of Return (ARR) questions & answers, specifically for the Edexcel GCSE specification. In order to help my Year 11 revise, I had a look at exam style questions they were likely to face in Paper 2. Perfect for revision or for when you introduce the topic. I have also included some notes on the pages to help guide students.
I’ve identified two types with ARR and created questions which practice the method of answering, for both styles. The booklet then gives a mix of these questions for students to answer.
Perfect for lower-middle ability students
Answers provided show working out
Same type of questions they will get in the exam
20 questions in total.
If there are any errors in my calculations (there shouldn’t be I have double checked) email me at mchughteaching@gmail.com & I’ll fix it. I would really appreciate not leaving a negative review for an easy fix, thank you.

This comprehensive teaching resource is specifically designed for Theme 2 of GCSE Edexcel Business Studies, focusing on the crucial concept of the Design Mix. The resource offers a wide array of valuable components, including:
Powerpoint Presentation: A well-structured PowerPoint presentation that provides in-depth coverage of the Design Mix topic, aligning perfectly with the GCSE Edexcel Business Studies curriculum.
Worksheet: A thoughtfully created worksheet that allows students to engage in retrieval practice, reinforcing their understanding of the Design Mix and its relevance to business operations.
Retrieval Practice: The resource is rooted in the principles of retrieval practice, a powerful learning strategy that enhances long-term retention and boosts overall learning outcomes.
Scaffolded Approach: The content is scaffolded to provide support for students at different levels of understanding, making it accessible for a wide range of learners.
Assessment for Learning: The resource incorporates assessment for learning strategies, enabling teachers to gauge students’ comprehension, identify areas for improvement, and adapt their teaching accordingly.
*** Knowledge organiser/worksheet***
This is unique element to my lesson in that I print that Knowledge Organiser sheet in A3 with print flipped on both sides. I fold the recap questions to be on the front and then this acts as a knowledge organiser (most would call this a worksheet but in my opinion it has positive impacts for revision more than working) GREAT for assessing students work during lesson and it’s very clear when they are not engaging/keeping up. Copy this to your format but the way describes work best for me.
