This resource includes a printable A3 mind map/revision mat for the A-Level Year 1 AQA specification, covering Unit 1. This was designed for my students as a general overview of each of the topics to allow for last-minute revision and to identify areas of weakness and strength. This can either be set as a independent activity or used in class as a group work activity. If you’ve found this resource helpful, revision mats are now available in bundles: Year 1 (AS-level) only: https://www.tes.com/teaching-resource/printable-revision-mats-for-aqa-a-level-business-studies-year-1-12104002 Year 1 and Year 2 (Entire A-level): https://www.tes.com/teaching-resource/revision-mats-a-level-business-studies-aqa-12104303 Year 2 only: https://www.tes.com/teaching-resource/printable-revision-mats-for-aqa-a-level-business-studies-year-2-12104293 The resource comes as a PDF document containing Unit 1 of the AQA course - What is Business?

A set of printable cards, which are in sets of Denary, Binary, and Hex, and correspond to each other. This means that the cards can be used for a ‘matching’ type activity, where cards have to be put in the groups, and encourages students to convert between the alternating types. The cards are matched to be one per page, which means that cards can be printed in any way necessary, however these cards are designed to be printed out small, for example 9 per page. These cards can be used throughout school, but are suited to meet the National Curriculum KS3, GCSE Computing for example OCR and AQA, and even as a starter activity in 6th form for A Level Computing or IT courses.

A selection of three resources which can be used to help aid the teaching of the CISC vs RISC section of the OCR course. Included: 1.) A powerpoint from which a lesson can be planned, which includes: - What are CISC and RISC? - What are the differences between CISC and RISC? - The uses of RISC and CISC 2.) A quick 5 minute knowledge-check questions which can be used as a plenary activity to reinforce knowledge. These are simple questions such as "State one advantage, and one disadvantage for using a CISC processor". If the student does not know one of these areas, this hilights an area for further teaching. 3.) A PDF containing match-up cards. These can be used to develop understanding of the differences between CISC and RISC, for example - Using a matching-up exercise type activity in pairs or small groups - Cutting out or putting in a 'blind-bag', where students have to describe a processor characteristic before other members of the class guess. Disclaimer: These resources are made the best possible to match the OCR specification, but this is not guaranteed. They can also be adapted to other specs such as AQA.

This resource is a placemat in a word document format which can be laminated to make a mini-white-board, which can be used for practicing binary calculations.

In this simple yet effective resource, 5 example businesses are given alongside a blank stakeholder map. As well as this, labels for some of the most common stakeholders are given, and students can cut these out and place them where they feel would be the most appropriate place. This file, in PPT format, can be printed out on A4 or even A3 paper and used a group activity, or can be used as a whole class activity by projecting onto a whiteboard. After this, one suggested activity is that students swap their stakeholder map with another group and decide if they agree with the positions that the stakeholders are in. This can form part of a class debate or form an evaluative activity. The can also be used as posters to form part of a wall display after completion from students.

This simple but effective resource contains a set of 10 high quality images, in a mind map powerpoint format, with the labels for the 5 senses located around the outside of the picture with a space to write and then the 10 images full screen on each slide for easy printing in a separate powerpoint presentation. The resource is designed for either printing on A3 or otherwise A4 paper, or to project onto the whiteboard for a whole-class activity. This resource can be used in countless ways and at many different levels. Whilst is is suggested that this is used in secondary with English Language GCSE and at a National Curriculum KS3 level, it can be easily adapted for use in primary schools. For example: - Split the class into small groups with three or two people per group. At the start of the lesson, give each group a sheet of paper with a picture on, and then tell students to describe the picture and begin to develop a story or descriptive piece of writing. Then, as ideas are shared, the students can begin to make a plan, and by the end of the lesson, students should each have written their own creative writing piece. - Do a collaborative class planning session! At the start of the lesson, the sheets can be spread around the classroom, and then students can each write one idea per sheet. At the end of the lesson, these can be shared as a class. - Use the sheets as a homework task, where students are told to find write, for example, a newspaper article about the place shown on the A3 sheet. - A piece of coloured card could be given to each student where they write one sentence, and this could be turned into a wall display or hanging 'washing line' classroom display.

A simple excel document containing a crossword, with answers, where students read the definitions and clues for an input device, and fill the crossword in with these clues. Ways that this resource can be used... Ask the students to complete the crossword as a starter activity (5-10 minutes). Then ask the students to hilight the input and the output devices in two different colours. Students can then discuss whether the hybrid devices, for example the touch screen, are an input or an output device. Alternatively, after completing a lesson on input and output devices, use this resource as a plenary activity. Who can use this resource? Although this resource is designed for KS3 teaching, it can easily be incorporated into computing or info-tech qualifications, for example OCR, AQA, EDEXCEL etc Info-Tech or Computing specifications at GCSE level.

A simple denary-binary and binary-denary task that can be given to students to allow them to develop understanding and reinforce methods by practicing calculations. Calculations are given in a variety of formats, for example a match-up exercise and a construction grid where 1s correspond to black and 0s correspond to white. This is a fun exercise where students have to translate from denary to binary, to reveal an image, and the last question involves a grid where students can construct their own images and share during the next lesson, getting each other to form these. This is suitable for a GCSE level, however, can be used to challenge G/T students in KS3 and used as a introduction to test understanding at a more advanced AS Level. The answers to this homework task are included in a separate word document.

A simple denary-hexadecimal and hexadecimal-denary task that can be given to students to allow them to develop understanding and reinforce methods by practicing calculations. Calculations are given in a variety of formats, for example a match-up exercise and constructing words out of hexadecimal letters which are converted from their denary equivalent. This is suitable for a GCSE level, however, can be used to challenge G/T students in KS3 and used as a introduction to test understanding at a more advanced AS Level. The answers to this homework task are included in a separate word document.

33 cards containing a name of a generic product, and an accompanying picture. These can be used to develop the students understanding about the difference between a good and service, and are designed to fit A4 page so they can be printed and/or laminated easily. Lesson ideas include: - Printing and asking students in small groups or individually to cut out each and match these into two piles; services and goods. These can then be stuck on large sheets of sugar paper - As a starter activity where students are asked to split the class up into two depending on whether the card they are given at the start of the lesson is a good or service. - Cutting out and putting in a bag, folded, and ask students to describe the product on the card without using the explicit name. The rest of the class have to guess what the product is, and whether this is a good or service. This would be a good starter or plenary task to help build on lesson understanding. These cards are suitable for a KS3 introductory lesson, all the way through GCSE and A-level to act as a starter activity, and can be easily adapted for use in taster sessions. They are relevant to the new AS and A level business 7131/7132 specification, and can be used for teaching the new GCSE 8132. Included: 33x small printable cards, with a white background, picture and label, at a fit of 3x4 to a page, spanning 3 pages. The downloadable file after purchase is a word document in portrait view.

Aimed at the new AQA AS Geography 7036 specification, this resource is a powerpoint presentation which can assist teaching in class for the new 2017 exam. This powerpoint and activity pack for '3.2.1.1 - The nature and importance of places' part of the unit covers the basics in an easy-to-follow powerpoint presentation. Included in this powerpoint are definitions for the key terms, short activities and focused questions, and links to articles and YouTube clips which are of relevance to the course, and the key concepts such as endogenous & exogenous factors, sense of place, and approaches to place are covered in-depth. Also included in this resource are possible lesson starters or tasks that can be given as homework: 1.) A Diamond-9 starter activity "Endogenous & Exogenous character of a place", where factors affecting the character of a place have to be sorted by importance and then categorised into Endogenous or Exogenous factors. 2.) A printable mind-map that students can fill in which helps to reinforce the 'Exclusion Groups' topic. 3.) An entertaining starter activity linking to Media Representations where students are given a name of a place and have to describe it using only stereotypical ideas. This can help students to understand how the media representation of a place is never as accurate or as personal as lived experience.
