<p>A PowerPoint posing the question “Why are some countries “rich” and others “poor””</p> <p>This makes for a great 45 minutes to an hour lesson and is quite thought provoking.</p> <p>The first part is a teacher-led review of the slides. If your school hates teacher led instruction then perhaps get a group of students to do it whilst you have a coffee, but it’s going to be much better if you do it because you will simply have much more knowledge of the subject than your students. Honestly, you wouldn’t want a set of passengers to work together and come up with ideas about how to land the aircraft that’s taking you on holiday, would you?</p> <p>Sorry for that rant. The students seem to really appreciate the contrasting photographs in this presentation and say that it helps them to understand the huge gulf of difference between high and low income economies. This in turn helps them not to suggest “Make the income tax system more progressive” as the key to solving South Sudan’s problems in the exam, which is going to be helpful.</p> <p>After you have done your bit, adding in any useful personal contextualisation you can think of, it’s time for some managed group discussion using the slides at the end of the presentation.</p> <p>I have used this many times over the years and it makes for a good and engaging lesson. The only think missing is that it doesn’t really include any assessment of learning. Greater minds than mine will be able to tackle that, or you could just take a leap of faith and believe that everyone is going to learn something useful from an hour or so diving deeply into this subject - I think you are probably safe to do so.</p> <p>This is free for you to copy, use, share or do whatever you like with. All I ask for is a positive review if you think it is a useful resource.</p> <p>Good luck to all teachers - you do an amazing job.</p>

<p>Taylor Swift and Katy Perry are in this presentation to help guide your students to an A* grade. They don’t know that they are in it - it isn’t like we are close friends or anything, but if they did know then I personally think they would be really pleased.</p> <p>In any case, I used this presentation a number of times with students taking A level Economics and they seemed to really like it. Quite a lot of them even went on to apply these principles and get an A* which was great, and hopefully they will remember me when they are rich and famous, and perhaps send me a few pounds to help me out in my old age. I’m not holding my breath on that one though.</p> <p>Please tweak, adjust and use this presentation as you see fit - it’s yours for free, but please leave a positive review if you like it.</p> <p>Best wishes to all teachers - you do an amazing job.</p>

<p>A series of slides for an A level extension class introducing Indifference Preference Analysis.</p> <p>These slides explain how to derive the downward sloping demand curve using IP analysis.</p> <p>Teachers might like to use this for extension classes, practice university admissions tests or just to stretch and challenge the most interested students in some way.</p> <p>Free to all to use copy and share as they see fit.</p> <p>If you like this resource please leave a positive review.</p> <p>Best of luck to all teachers!</p>

<p>A workbook to help students to get to grips with Theory of the Firm.</p> <p>Quite long - could be used in a series of lessons and homeworks.</p> <p>My “Fundamentals of A2 Micro” download goes well with this resource, or a textbook could be used, or teacher-led direct instruction, or whatever you like.</p> <p>Free to use, copy and share as you like.</p> <p>Best of luck to all teachers!</p>

<p>This is a hand written essay about the effects of a depreciation of the pound - something that we all know can fox even the most diligent pupils now and again.</p> <p>I wrote it against the clock in about twenty minutes in a way which I hoped would demonstrate the key skills of diagrammatic analysis and evaluation. I found that the students liked having a copy that they could read, compare to their own attempt, and on which they could highlight all of the analysis and evaluation in different colours.</p> <p>It’s not perfect by any means, but I hope it is something that you can use. If not, well it’s free anyway, so no need to worry.</p> <p>If you use this resource then please leave me a positive review - it goes a long way.</p> <p>The best of luck to all teachers, you do amazing work.</p>

<p>I used this for an observed lesson - it’s just a set of PowerPoint slides that review the Key Performance Indicators of an economy in a way that strikes at exam technique - you will see how it works as soon as you take a look.</p> <p>Individual slides can of course be used as worksheets or the whole thing put on Teams or the Cloud or somewhere - good luck with that; if you are a bit old school like me just run them through the photocopier.</p> <p>It’s very basic, but as we know sometimes basic things work very well.</p> <p>Yours free to use, copy and share as you like. All that I ask for is a positive review if you are willing to provide one.</p> <p>The best of luck to all teachers - you do a brilliant job.</p>

<p>A puzzle for your A level Economics classes with an answer provided. Come to think of it, any class might find this fun and engaging.</p> <p>This is an interesting starter puzzle which may look tricky to some at first sight but is in fact breathtakingly easy.</p> <p>I have found it especially useful when arriving at a lesson not as prepared as I would have liked to have been, and being faced with a class registration system that requires a PhD in Computer Science to operate.</p> <p>The idea is to get the class on-task doing something useful and to demonstrate that when tackling something new we need to block out those negative thoughts we all get (or is that just me?) and to think about what we already know, and how that might help.</p> <p>It is also to show that we need to be aware of any assumptions we are making when we deal with an unfamiliar question - that’s really important not just for the exams but for life too as I think we would all agree.</p> <p>Free for you to copy, share and do with as you please.</p> <p>If you like it then please leave a positive review - that doesn’t cost you anything, but makes me really happy.</p> <p>Good luck to all teachers - you do an amazing job.</p>
