This set of resources includes 1x ppt, 2x essay questions, 1x calculation sheet. Learners are introduced to price elasticity of demand - a tricky concept at first but this resource breaks everything down step by step with plenty of calculation and essay exam practice. We start by looking at the concept of elasticity with an engaging Eastenders starter, we learn the key formulas needed to tackle any PED questions before looking at examples of some inelastic products. Students have the opportunity to calculate PED questions with answers on the board to show how answers are reached. We then go on to look at factors that affect the price elasticity of a product and apply this theory to a Nando’s 8 mark question - structure guidance and a model answer is provided for students to look at before peer assessing and responding to WWW and EBI. Another bonus question is included which is based on tobacco cigarettes vs vaping, students consider the different elasticities of the two products and explain why they might be different, full model answer provided for the class to look at and assess together. Two links to kahoot quizzes and a box plenary to finish with. Colourful, concise and engaging slides! Thank you

This lesson introduces learners to the components of aggregate demand before looking at each component in greater detail later in the course. We start by breaking down the definition of aggregate demand to undestand the components involved. We look at the AD curve and understand why it slopes downwards and why it is different to the micro demand curve although looks the same. We look at movements and shifts in the AD curve and students have the opportunity to practice drawing the diagram with shifts - answers provided. A box plenary to finish with. Colourful, concise and engaging slides! Thank you

This double lesson introduces learners to the circular flow of income, we start by looking at what this model is and how it is made up. We look at the difference between income and wealth before looking at injections and withdrawals into the circular flow. Animated diagrams of the circular flow to show how money circulates between the parties. A number of consolidation tasks including a 6 mark exam question - all with answers provided. Two links to kahoot quizzes and a box plenary to finish with. Colourful, concise and engaging slides! Thank you

This double lesson introduces learners to the concept of the multiplier. We start by provoking thinking on how an injection might end up stimulating AD, we look at examples of how this might look before looking at the formula for the multiplier.
