BTEC TA Digital Information Technology - Home Learning

6 Resources
Once the teaching element of Component 3 has been completed, students need to further develop their understanding of how to use the key terms in the syllabus in the context of the scenarios given in questions. Included in this bundle are resources to help with discussion to formulate ideas, and then a written task to put these ideas down on paper. This approach enables students to think before they write, and will potentially train them to do this better in the exam.

Basic Calculations for Business

Basic Calculations for Business

(0)
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.
