This bundle of lessons can be spread over 2-3 lessons and learners are introduced to the two financial statements. We start by breaking down an example of a Pizza shop’s revenues, costs and profit to show how the income statement is built step by step, students consolidate with an activity of creating an income statement for Ian Beale’s fish and chip shop. Answers provided to self assess. We then go on to the statement of financial position or balance sheet, before looking at some financial information and carrying out calculations (which students would’ve learned in year 12 theme 2 such as current ratio), answers provided to self assess, next, using these answers students complete a 12 mark written question - the type that appears in paper 3, so it’s a good idea to make sure students are familiar with this. Structure guidance and concise model answer provided to develop exam technique, a kahoot quiz and box plenary to finish with. Colourful, concise and engaging slides! Thank you

This bundle could be delivered over 3 lessons and introduces learners to return on capital employed and gearing, whilst consolidating ratios from theme 2 such as current ratio, acid test, gross and net profit margins. Students have a chance to consider the limitations of ratios also. We start by demonstrating simple broken down examples of roce and gearing, as well as the other ratios with a range of consolidation activities. We also have a group task where students are given accounts of a major retailer, and they have to report back on how well the company has been performing by carrying out all the ratio analysis. Two kahoot quizzes with links provided and a box plenary to finish with. Colourful, concise and engaging slides! Thank you

This lesson introduces learners to the interaction of supply and demand and consolidated on the previous lessons of supply and demand. We start by looking at how to construct a fully labelled diagram - animated so students can see how to draw it in their exam. We look at a few different examples where the supply and demand shifts to a new market equilibrium. A selection of short activities to consolidate the knowledge Colourful, concise and engaging slides! Thank you

This lesson introduces learners to inflation and interest rates - economic influences is quite a large topic area to cover so it is split into two parts. We start by looking at some shocking (for students) price changes in the last few decades before looking at how inflation is calculated and the implications on businesses and concumsers. We then go onto looking at interest rates and again, implications on consumers and businesses. Two essay exam style questions included on each topic - both with structure guidance and concise model answers to help students with peer assessments. Colourful, concise and engaging slides! Thank you

This lesson introduces learners to aggregate supply, we start by looking at what AS is and why the curve slopes upwards (so students understand the difference between micro and macro supply curve), we go through each factor that can affect the the short run aggregate supply curve before students attempt a consolidation task of drawing shifts in SRAS. We then join AD with AS to illustrate the macroeconomic equilibrium. A set of questions which can affect either AD or SRAS with answers and step by step animated diagrams included. A link to a kahoot quiz and a box plenary to finish with. Colourful, concise and engaging slides! Thank you

This double lesson introduces learners to long-run aggregate supply, we start by looking at the classical and keynes models, with a discussion on spare capacity to understand the keynes version. Step-by-step animated diagrams with explanations so it is easy for students to understand and for the teacher to deliver. We then look at the factors which can shift LRAS. Lots of practice questions with illustrated answers so students know if they are on the right track. In the second part of the lesson, students combine their knowledge on AD and AS, we read a case study on rising house prices and attempt a question on the effects on AD and AS. A model answer is provided and students can peer assess with the marking grid. Two links to kahoot quizzes to finish with. Colourful, concise and engaging slides! Thank you

This lesson builds on learners understanding of macroeconomic equilibrium, we look at the word means and how it looks like on a diagram (with both LRAS types). We look at two scenarios, one of England hosting the world cup in 2020 and the other being the latest budget announced by Rishi Sunak in 2021 - students discuss the effects of this on the macroeconomy. A research task and we end with a box plenary. Colourful, concise and engaging slides! Thank you

This double lesson introduces learners to the circular flow of income, we start by looking at what this model is and how it is made up. We look at the difference between income and wealth before looking at injections and withdrawals into the circular flow. Animated diagrams of the circular flow to show how money circulates between the parties. A number of consolidation tasks including a 6 mark exam question - all with answers provided. Two links to kahoot quizzes and a box plenary to finish with. Colourful, concise and engaging slides! Thank you

This lesson introduces learners to output gaps, we start by looking at GDP charts and identifying trends to understand long term trend rate of growth. We then look at positive and negative output gaps in more detail with step by step, animated diagrams for clearer explanations. Finally we look at the difficulties of measuring output gaps. Colourful, concise and engaging slides! Thank you

This double lesson introduces learners to the concept of the multiplier. We start by provoking thinking on how an injection might end up stimulating AD, we look at examples of how this might look before looking at the formula for the multiplier. Calculation questions with answers are provided, an evaluation to the multiplier is discussed. In the second part of the lesson we look at the alternative way to calculate the multiplier through MPW, a question and answer on this too before playing two kahoot quizzes and a box plenary to end with. Colourful, concise and engaging slides! Thank you

This double lesson builds learners understanding on demand-side policies. We look at different interest rates to understand the base rate. We look at fiscal policy and the most recent spending review, students discuss what impact these policies might have on AD. An interesting documentary on the interest rate rise which shows the point of view from different people - an exam style question with guidance and a model answer is provided for students to use before peer assessing. In the second lesson, we look at quantitative easing and demand side policies used in the great depression and 2008 financial crisis. Two links to kahoot quizzes and a box plenary to finish with. Colourful, concise and engaging slides! Thank you

This double lesson introduces learners to the variety of interventions that governments use to intervene in markets. We start by recapping indirect taxes and subsidies before looking at examples of minimum and maximum prices - students contextualise this by looking at alcohol minimum prices and tuition fee caps in the UK - a short question with a model answer on this too. We then look at pollution permits, state provision of public goods, provision of information and regulation as other ways governments can interevene in markets. Two links to kahoot quizzes to finish with. Colourful, concise and engaging slides! Thank you

This lesson introduces learners to government failure, we look at reasons that can cause a net welfare loss to society through distortion of price signals, unintended consequences, excessive admin costs and information failure. Three links to kahoot quizzes on all of theme 1 to finish with. Colourful, concise and engaging slides! Thank you

This lesson introduces learners to the causes of economic growth, we start by looking at what growth is by differentiating between actual and potential growth. We look at different ways to show growth through step by step diagrams. We watch a few videos for context on economic growth and the export-led economic growth of Bangladesh. Colourful, concise and engaging slides! Thank you

This lesson summarises the possible macroeconomic objectives which students would have heard throughout the course so far. We look at the 7 main objectives. Students are given an exam style question to prepare a presentation on - how inflation could impact the other macroeconomic objectives - balanced points are given on the following slide to compare with students’ presentations, this can also be answered for homework later. Colourful, concise and engaging slides! Thank you
