Ice breaker activity ideal for GCSE and AS Level Business Studies.

One of my series of revision notes for the new AS and A Level AQA Business Studies course. Additional notes are available upon request and feedback will be much appreciated.

A free sample of the resources now available for download. These packs are comprehensive revision notes that consider specific topic areas. In this example the pack considers break even and the different types of costs that businesses face. It also examines the concept of contribution and break even charts before concluding with an overall assessment of break even as a decision making technique. The notes provide a detailed and colourful, well-presented summary of each topic area but for an additional 50p there are teacher packs available that come complete with the PowerPoint version of these notes and also include practice activities, questions and an essay all with suggested answers. Please leave a review to help me in the production of future resources.

This has been used for many years now withtin the Business Department and has become something of an institution. They are set the challenge of creating a celebrity egg to illustrate the issues of packaging, product and promotion. It works well towards the end of the Autumn Term as a final wind-down.

This paper is an additional practice paper I wrote for my students which focuses upon the topic areas that have not yet been examined in depth and therefore will eventually appear! I hope that this proves to be of some use but please do not ask for a mark scheme as I have not had time to write one. Sorry!

These are two Power Points aimed at helping students to identify those topic areas which have not yet been examined upto May 2011 and therefore are more likely to arise. There are some 'model' answers provided but these are obviously open to interpretation and are by no means perfect. Hope that this helps as my students found these useful.

Just a quick poster that I have used to great effect with my students. This should help them to develop their exam technique and to access those all important higher grade levels.

A free sample resource of the new Edexcel A Level PowerPoint series aimed at assisting teachers with their delivery of the A Level Business specification. This extract is part of 1.3.2 Branding and Promotion powerpoint which contains a total of four detailed lessons regarding this key topic area. It considers changes to branding and promotion to reflect social trends including viral marketing, social media and emotional branding. The slides contain activities with suggested answers including the Quick Fire Five and a 10 mark practice question. The clear and well-presented nature of the slides are aimed at helping students to understand the topics with each topic analysed to provide a balanced assessment of the theory.

This is a sample extract of a calculation workbook created by a teacher of over 25 years experience in delivering high quality business lessons and resources. The workbook provides students with a summary of the theory associated with each calculation topic and then provides a series of questions for students to answer. Each question has answers at the rear of the workbook. This is a small sample of the extensive workbook. A Year 13 version will be coming after half-term.
