A fun lesson starter that gets students thinking about key terms. One by one a word will appear for a key term definition and students have to guess what the word is. The sooner they can guess the word the more points they get! Click the answer speech bubble to show the answer. The key words I have chosen are: - Division of Labour - Ceteris Paribus - Excess Supply - Productive Efficiency - Joint Supply - Necessity Good - Average Cost - Specific Unit Tax - Short Run - Normative Statement However, the powerpoint is editable so you can include any key words you want.

An activity that would be good as an end of topic review. The monopoly question inception has questions inside a question inside a question. All the PDF's are editable so can be uploaded into each other and create a professional looking document at the end. Students must answer the following question: To what extent do monopolies exploit consumers? And fill in the Monopoly Sheet. To do this they must categorise the following eight arguments into arguments for and arguments against the statement. They can then be uploaded into the Monopoly Sheet which is the main document. However, none of these arguments are complete and each need students to complete various tasks before they can be included into the main document. These include gap fills, word searches, true or false, definitions, explanations, interpreting pictures, evaluation, including key words etc. Once they are completed they must be saved as PDF's and uploaded into the main document (which is also saved as a PDF). When using this resource I didnt tell the students the titles of the PDF's but renamed them into 'argument 1, argument 2, argument 3 etc.' This prevents any clues being given away. At the end of the lesson students have effectively worked together to write an essay plan which can also be used for revision. I found this lesson to be very successful as it stretches and challenges more able students, but still has opportunities for weaker students to shine and encourages them to work together to consolidate their knowledge. Topics covered include: - Price Discrimination - Static Efficiency: Allocative Efficiency, Productive Efficiency and X Efficiency - Dynamic Efficiency - Business Objectives - Economies of Scale - Natural Monopoly - Output and Prices - Minimum Efficient Scale - Evaluation

A one page worksheet that examines the recent dispute between Tescos and Unilever. It asks questions on oligopoly, monopsony, monopoly and concentration ratios and is a good way to increase students knowledge of current affairs. I have included the PDF version and the word document version so that questions can be edited.

A one page monopolistic competition worksheet getting students to apply their knowledge and assess advantages and disadvantages of a monopolistically competitive firm. There is also an accompanying powerpoint presentation and my answers which I have handwritten and scanned in.

This two page economics worksheet is topical for the upcoming elections and could be used as a end of year lesson, for revision, or during lessons on supply side policies. It gets students to analyse the impacts of each of the proposed policies and justify their opinions. The policies are: - Reducing corporation tax - Making university education free - Restricting immigration There are also two extension questions for students who need a stretch and challenge. This resource also includes some suggested teacher answers.

This bundle includes over 20 AQA Economics A2 Microeconomics Presentations including: - Monopoly - Price Discrimination - Oligopoly - Monopolistic Competition - Perfect Competition - Shut Down Point - Competition Policy - Firms Costs in the Short Run - Firms Costs in the Long Run - Revenue - Economic Efficiency - Externalities - Public Goods - Inequality and Poverty - Environmental Market Failure - Demand for Labour - Supply of Labour - Trade Unions - Monopsony - Minimum Wage

Editable pdf worksheet that ensures students can distinguish between the different definitions for the production, cost and revenue topic. It is a useful resource for students to have completed when it comes to revision and develops A01 skills of knowledge by defining key terms with examples. An editable PDF means that text boxes are able to be written in, but you will not be able to change the design of the sheet. This resource should only be used for students with access to computers as printing it will not work.

Perfect competition worksheet, suitable for AS students.

A differentiated monopoly themes worksheet which allows students to choose their level and pushes them further. Stretches and challenges more able students. A game format to encourage students to try their best. Also includes teacher answers. Also covers natural monopoly and price discrimination.

A question sheet for economic growth that asks students to find conflicts with the other macroeconomic objectives. Good to get students to apply their knowledge after doing advantages and disadvantages of economic growth, and learning about long run and short run economic growth.

A macroeconomic logic puzzle that would be good for an end of term revision lesson. In this quiz each word should be cut out and placed in an envelope labelled with the grid square e.g. A1, D5 etc. Start with giving them A1, they should be able to deduce the other squares from there using the clues they receive every time they find a word. There is not a specific order that this game has to be solved in either so any approach is fine. This is quite a difficult quiz and should last them almost a whole hour. They may also need some hints. The fastest a group has managed to solve it in is 40 minutes.

An AS economics game using true or false questions to solve an incomplete QR code. When scanned the quote says 'Education is the best economic policy there is' which was first said by Tony Blair. This would be ideal as a quick end of term game that can be used for revision. A teacher copy of the correct QR code and correct answers to the questions is also included. You can adapt the questions if needed to suit another subject.

A really good activity for the end of the Macroeconomics course to get students to link together the concepts that they have seen. I usually print the first slide off in A3 for them to work on and then we discuss the answers as a class. Students must come up with analysis and evaluation for six macroeconomic objectives and are encouraged to think outside of the box. On the next two slides there is teacher copies with answers for evaluation and analysis. The last slide contains some general evaluative points that students could bring up.

Evaluation points that can be used in unit 2 and unit 4 essay questions. Evaluation points for macroeconomic objectives encompass any question students could be asked. There are also essay plans with evaluation for all three macroeconomic policies. Slides 1 - 8 can be printed and given to students to fill in either individually, in pairs or as a group. Extensive answers can be found slides 9 - 16.

A worksheet for information failure, public goods and minimum prices for students to complete.

Macroeconomic objectives revision activity. The resource includes a blank document for students to attempt and a teachers copy with the answers. For each objective there are definitions, measurements, limitations of the measurements, causes, benefits and costs.

A handout for A Level students explaining the Marshall Lerner condition and J curve effect. The Marshall Lerner condition includes both a diagrammatic and mathematical example to demonstrate the concept. Words or numbers could be removed to stretch and challenge more adept students.

An activity that stretches and challenges more capable students by getting them to apply their knowledge of demand and supply shifts and price elasticity of demand and supply. Ask them to read the attached article then answer the following questions: Read the BBC news article from March 2016 detailing Britain's biscuit shortage and answer the following questions: 1. How have the demand and supply curves for biscuits been affected? 2. Why haven't the price of biscuits increased rapidly? 3. What impacts might there be in related markets? 4. How has Asda's experience of the crisis been different? How might this affect their elasticity? 5. Do all biscuits have the same elasticities? Justify your answer using the information from the article

This is a short handout I give to students who want to understand why sometimes the PPF curve is curved and at other times it is straight. As an extension task they are asked to show why the opportunity cost increases when approaching specialisation.

Economics scategories for AS microeconomics. Students are given a trigger word and they have to write down as many words or statements that go with this word as they can think of in three minutes, this can either be done in teams or individually. There is an macro economic example to start off to demonstrate the game to the students. To win students must come up with as many words as they can think of that are related to the trigger word and that no one else has thought of. You score as you would do in scategories, for example if both students write down PED for example, neither of them can get a point for it. This encourages students to think outside of the box. After each trigger word there is a slide with suggestions of what students could have put, but there will be far more than just these and ultimately it will be up to the teacher to decide whether a phrase is related or not.
