As a teacher and examiner of AQA A Level Business and BTEC Level 3 Diploma in Business, I am all too aware of how time-poor we teachers are. My aim with these resources is to provide a turn-key solution for teachers with resources that will add value to your students and help improve grades. My shop is new so please, keep dropping by to see what new resources have appeared, alternatively drop me a line if there is something, in particular, you would like to see.

AQA A Level Business New Specification Key terms and memory recall exercises for units 1-6. This resource contains ALL the key terms students need to have an understanding of, in specification order. I have provided detailed explanations of concepts so it may also act as a point of reference. Also included in a separate document are printable recall sheets in unit order. I like to use the Individual Topic Key Terms when I start a new topic, I hand them out so that students have a full list at the beginning of their class notes. I use the memory recall sheets in a variety of different ways:
As starters at the beginning of subsequent lessons (and at various times throughout the year)
As a short plenary at the end of a lesson
As a form of topic assessment
As a basis for chain games
Students can also use the document for revision by using the memory recall sheets to test their own understanding or to print and build flashcards from. This resource is also available as individual topics if you do not required key terms for the whole unit. Both documents are fully editable.
BTEC Level 3 Business Unit 3, Business & Personal Finance Revision Checklist.
As an examiner, one of the biggest errors I see in students papers is that they simply repeat the information they have learned. To try and avoid my students making the same mistake, I created a revision checklist directly from the specification but, I have clearly identified what the students need to be able to do with the information. Over the years, this has meant that students go about their revision differently – instead identifying that they “know” the topic, now they have to say whether they can calculate it, analyse it, or evaluate certain factors. Revising this way puts a different slant on how students revise, not only are they checking their knowledge but, they are acknowledging what it is they need to be able to do with it.
How to Use: Students should initially assess the extent to which they are comfortable with a topic and what they need to do with it. Are they so comfortable with it, they could help their peers or, do they have an idea but, if you put them on the spot they would struggle to put it into words….so might need another look? Alternatively, they could be like a rabbit in headlights with it and would not be happy at all if a question on that comes up….I recommend they focus on these areas first!! Give it a go, I would love to hear how your students get on with it.
