GCSE Business Edexcel - 1.5.1 Stakeholders - PPT+Worksheet
Powerpoint and worksheet which covers and introduction to Stakeholders.
Included is a very comprehensive lesson with high quality themes which cover main objectives of this GCSE lesson.
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.
This is an introductory lesson with another needed to cover conflict of objectives and impact of stakeholders on business. Will upload that soon.
I’m a newer teacher with limited experience sharing resources on here. So if you have improvements for some of my resources just let me know.
ARR Questions & Answers - Edexcel GCSE Business Studies
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.
