I teach IGCSE Geography at an international school in Southeast Asia. Development indicators, especially HDI and GDP per capita, always used to eat up planning time because no textbook quite lined up with the Cambridge 0460 questions examiners actually ask.
This resource is a complete, ready-to-teach lesson on development indicators for Cambridge IGCSE Geography (0460, 2027 syllabus). You get a 55-slide PowerPoint presentation, a Word document student workbook in three versions (full colour, grayscale, online-ready), a bonus interactive website on Geography Oasis, and a full answer key.
Students will learn:
- The difference between standard of living and quality of life.
- Economic and social indicators of development, including GDP per capita, GNI, birth rate, literacy, and access to clean water.
- How to plot and interpret scatter graphs of development data and identify anomalies.
- What the Human Development Index (HDI) measures and how global HDI patterns vary.
- Why indicators can mislead, using real country data.
- How to structure an extended writing response on economic vs social indicators.
Also suitable for AP Human Geography, World Geography, and any development or global issues unit at ages 14-16.
Delivered as fully editable PowerPoint (.pptx) and Word (.docx) files. You can adapt the language, restructure activities, or drop in your own resources.
This is Module 1 of the Development unit. A bundle is available if you want the full unit and a saving across all five modules.
