2 x AQA Business mock exams. 1 for units 1-3 and 1 for units 4-6

A range of business stories and case studies that I have used with A Level groups to develop their exam technique. Some of these I have added questions and created a planning structure for student to use.

A PowerPoint research task that students can complete to understand the concept of sources of finance. There are some introductory slides and then students can work independently to research the sources of finance or students can be assigned one and then can share with the group.

3 PowerPoints containing over a 100 display cards for GCSE (and A-Level) Business, including key terms, financial calculation formulas and exam technique. A superb resource if you want to make your classroom a business friendly environment.

A PowerPoint with a range of tasks to revise Blake Mouton and Tannembaum and Schmidt- students can also develop their exam technique

A PowerPoint and resources to teach the topic of PESTLE analysis

A crossword for AQA A Level Business students. Fun activity to do as a starter or plenary for a revision lesson.

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!

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)

Resources to teach inventory management and stock control, including ppt notes, videos, tasks and a worksheet.

A PowerPoint task that students can use as a revision lesson in a computer room or can be set as homework. There are questions/tasks for topics 1.1-1.5. Once students have completed all the tasks, they can then print them off 4 slides a page and cut them up as revision cards.

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.

My students love this revision activity. Attached is a list of key words for both theme 1 and 2 exams. 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!

A great fun revision quiz to consolidate students knowledge of Edexcel GCSE Business topics. Students work in small teams with white boards and at the end of each round, hold their answers up. You can then track their scores on the white board- my group loved this and got very competitive!

A PowerPoint and tasks to teach the topic of supply and demand

A full lesson resource to teach the topic of remuneration. There is an activity that can be used as a treasure hunt or fact finding activity where the teacher prints and puts up the definitions of each method and the students need to find the information, before discussing in their groups the advantages and disadvantages of each method and recording it on their sheet. This download includes a PowerPoint, the sheets for the treasure hunt, a worksheet for them to complete and a workbook of tasks. A fun way to teach the topic of remuneration!

A PowerPoint to teach approaches to quality, including quality assurance and quality control. There is a game where students have to make products using the two approaches to see the advantages and disadvantages of each. There’s also a range of tasks and an introduction to cost effective operations. There’s enough content for 2 or 3 lessons.
