An escape room activity which gets student to identify the factors that affect a business’s decision when choosing its suppliers from the GCSE AQA specification. Students work individually or in pairs to identify the 5 factors and then when have identified the password come to the front of the room to unlock the PPT!

Walk & talk paper 1. Students are given the word document whilst the teacher goes through the PowerPoint one slide at a time. The resources looks at all the different types of questions in the specification: MCQ, 2 mark, 3 mark, 6 mark, 9 mark and 12 mark questions.

The resource has a sample of 6 of the 94 different retrieval activities available in the bundle package. It also gives you 2 techniques that you could also adapt to do retrieval practice. If you like this, please go ahead and purchase the bundle package. Alternatively, you can get individual units. Enjoy!

This is a great resource that I pick things from when I give my students an article or case study to really get them to think hard about what they have just read. I don’t follow it in a chronological order, these are just some of the tasks i will get the students to do following the article reading - I find by doing this they engage with the context in more detail. Please use/adapt where you wish.

Lots of different types of businesses - perfect when answering an exam question and getting students to think how the answer would change if it was “this business compared to this business”. As a plenary activity, i would split the class into 4 (no moving around), but within that 4 they are in the pair they sit with. I will pose a question and we will then go round answering the question to each of their specific business type. Great for building context!

EDEXCEL GCSE Business tracker sheet for the 2 year course. Great visual for students to see where they are at on the course and for communication with home. I use this as their tracker sheet for assessments and students colour code based on their assessment results.

Budgeting assessment and mark scheme for A-Level Business Studies - it’s out of 43.

28 days worth of questions for the unit 3.2 - Influences on Business - perfect for a revision/half-term break - I usually print this as an A3 and hand out at parents evening as an intervention for students under-performing. Parents usually buy into the visual aid and stick this on their fridge.

28 days worth of questions for the unit 3.4 Human Resources - perfect for a revision/half-term break - I usually print this as an A3 and hand out at parents evening as an intervention for students under-performing. Parents usually buy into the visual aid and stick this on their fridge.

Based around the AQA GCSE Human Resources unit, students are given the task of creating a PowerPoint for specific tasks from the Human Resources unit for the England national team. Works great in a computer room.

28 days worth of questions for the unit 3.3 Operations Management - perfect for a revision/half-term break - I usually print this as an A3 and hand out at parents evening as an intervention for students under-performing. Parents usually buy into the visual aid and stick this on their fridge.

28 days worth of questions for the unit 3.1 Business in the real world - perfect for a revision/half-term break - I usually print this as an A3 and hand out at parents evening as an intervention for students under-performing. Parents usually buy into the visual aid and stick this on their fridge.

This resource was really effective for an intervention group I did with mainly boys who were not using the case study to help develop their answers. The resource shows them the data from a football match between Barcelona and Chelsea. From the statistics shown it is fairly one sided but the match finishes as a draw and Chelsea progress. The students are required to answer an exam style question on who they think deserved to win and WHY? This gets them to use the ‘case study’ to develop their points. PERFECT!

28 days worth of questions for the unit 3.6 Finance - perfect for a revision/half-term break - I usually print this as an A3 and hand out at parents evening as an intervention for students under-performing. Parents usually buy into the visual aid and stick this on their fridge.

An escape room activity which gets student to identify the 5 factors influencing the location decision of a business from the GCSE AQA specification. Students work individually or in pairs to identify the 5 factors and then when have identified the password come to the front of the room to unlock the PPT! Following on from the escape room there is then 3 exam questions following the I do, we do, you do approach. One example of a perfect answer to a 3 mark question, working through one together as a class and then the class to do one themselves in timed conditions. A superb approach to exam questioning.

Students create 3 types of questions: easy, medium and hard.

This is a resource that I send out to all of the GCSE Business students at the start of the course. There is a section for the students and also a section for the parents to give them a little insight into the two year journey and something to be able to test them on/discuss at the dinner table.
