This resource depends on you teaching Business Ownership first (sole traders, partnerships and companies). Students should be given a printed version of the puzzle (the one with two pages). I get them to work in pairs as they can both be cutting at the same time to reduce ‘cutting time’. They both cut out one of the pages then get to work creating a triangle solution by connecting matching statements. There is only ONE way the puzzle will become a triangle correctly, so it’s trial and error but a GREAT task to consolidate learning of Business Ownership topic. I then get learners to stick their puzzles down on A3 paper (two sheets, because it just sticks over one A3 page). Alternatively, you could cut the puzzle and laminate for year on year use. I’ve included the solution. To ensure ALL students can access it, I print the solution on A3 paper and stick it in the corridor. Each pair gets a few chances to go out and take a peek, if needed. Finally, I’ve included a plenary to review the tarsia puzzle and a homework true or false activity on Business Ownership, this might work well as a homework task to see what students have learnt from the puzzle. Enjoy!

This 10 slide PowerPoint is a range of SIMILAR starter or plenary activities. See the video preview below. Can be used OVER and OVER again, so well worth the dollar. The first slides are grids with ANSWERS. Your students need to give the QUESTIONS. Great for questioning, great for differentiation/selecting specific students to answer. There's a version of the same starter which involves splitting your group into two teams to make the activity even more engaging. The slides are fully interactive to allow you to change the numbers RED or BLUE depending on which team gets a point. To ensure longevity of the resource, and the ability to use it LOADS of times with the SAME group, the starters have also been adapted to give questions for students to answer, just to shake things up a bit. Enjoy!

This resource REALLY cuts down on your marking workload and acts as an effective starter to a lesson once a piece of work/section of work has been marked/reviewed. Follow this process… Print this resource on A4 paper (or A3 if you’re going to write a lot). ‘Tick and Flick’ mark each piece of work/book for a whole class or particular group of students. As you’re going through, note your comments on the sheet within one of the sections below. Praise (What Went Well) Misconceptions/Common Errors Spelling, Punctuation and Grammar Even Better If Presentation DIRT Activity/Activities Once complete, photocopy a sheet for all students to glue into their books or attach to their work. In the following lesson, students should action the DIRT activity. You should also display this sheet (if scanned in) as a discussion point/starter. Your marking has been reduced… very effectively too! TIPS: Students LOVE to be named on this sheet, as everyone in the class gets a copy! Name particular students within the relevant sections of the marking tool sheet. Don’t use this for EVERY piece of marking you do! This is designed to reduce the marking you do, not obliterate it! Choose when this tool will work well for you and your class. Print a bank of these off so they’re easily at hand.
