AQA Business A-Level Business revision game

(0)
My students love this revision activity. Attached is a list of key words for both Y12 (units1-6) and Y13 (7-10) of the A-Level. Our reprographics very kindly printed, laminated and chopped these up so we can use them to play articulate in lesson. Students play in groups and put all the cards face down and pick a card up at a time, describing the key term using business definitions- the person that guess correctly keeps the card. Each person describes for one minute, whoever has the most at the end is the winner. A nice plenary activity or one for a Friday afternoon to keep students engaged- they can get very competitive- some of my students even asked for their own set so they could play at home!

GCSE Business recap questions PowerPoint

(0)
I use this PowerPoint to start every lesson to consolidate students’ knowledge of topics covered. We call it a rapid-fire recap and students are meant to answer the questions in as few words possible (and they get very competitive with each other about this!), It’s a great way to recap topics and gets students to distill key words and concepts into as few words as possible which really helps with revision and recall. There are dozens of questions here than can be used of sequences of lessons and adapted as needed.

Each round you (the UK) buy from the cheapest team and protectionist policies are gradually introduced so they can see the impact it has on sales. The PowerPoint includes a range of tasks and activities and can be used over a number of lessons.

Methods of production: Job, batch and flow. Full lesson resources and game

(0)
A great fun way to teach production methods. Students are put into teams, representing either job, batch or flow. They must create shapes using their method of production and then sell them onto the teacher (the buyer) in the time given. This is then recored on the spreadsheet which you can project so the class can see who’s winning. It’s great fun and really helped my students understand and remember the advantages and disadvantages of each production method.

EdExcel GCSE Business Theme 1 unit tests

(2)
A set of 4 tests I have put together using questions from old exams and the new spec specimen materials. Each can be used to assess the learning of students at the end of each topic. A lot of them are multiple choice questions too from the old unit 1 papers so you can get the students to mark those sections to make your life easier! There are 4 exams (I only created 1 exam for unit 1.1. and 1.2 as they are quite short). This download includes: 1.1. and 1.2. test: Enterprise and spotting a business opportunity (30 marks) 1.3 test: Finance (45 marks) 1.4 test: Making the business effective (46 marks) 1.5 test: Understanding external influences (44 marks)

Adambrett70Adambrett70

Revenue, costs and profits full lesson and activity

(0)
A full set of resources for students to be taught the topic of revenue, costs and profits. There is a PowerPoint to introduce them to the topic (you’ll need some post-its), a worksheet to demonstrate their understanding and a game they can play in groups (My group love this game- they get very competitive!) For the game: each round, the team decide on the selling price and how many products they will make, they then hand the sheets into you. Put the sheets in ascending order of cheapest to dearest and place orders appropriately (e.g. 2,4,6,8,10)- then hand the sheets back and the students calculate their profit and decide if they should alter the strategy for the next round- the team with the highest profit after 4 rounds wins! A great fun lesson and a nice lesson to lead into cashflow.
