Resource prepared to generate discussion prior to attempting exam questions in preparation for the mock exam.
Spreadsheet for tracking student progress against syllabus content for the A265 & A267 exams.

Ensure you have covered all the course content required in order to enable your students to pass.
Training students how to use a calculator to perform basic calculations using +, -, x, / before progressing onto problem solving and extracting the figures needed for the calculation.
My daughter in Year 4 recently expressed her frustrations with problem solving: "First you have to extract the figures and then you have to work out which calculation to use. " Around the same time, a Year 11 student said honestly “I miss it out the calculation question because it is words and numbers together, so it looks hard.”
Both of these comments resonated with me and thus I have created this resource as an induction to the GCSE Business course to show students the types of calculations they may encounter and how to problem solve in a business context.

Are your students struggling with breakeven? They can follow an example, and yet when doing an exam question go blank?
This story is designed to teach breakeven in a relaxed way, where students 'become' the characters who need to breakeven.
