This is a four page booklet designed for GCSE Business Studies to introduce Working Capital. Students must first (on page 2) decide whether each item is an asset or liability and whether the assets are fixed or current and the liabilities are long-term or current. On page 3 they review what assets and liabilities are. On page 4 they must write the formula for working capital (Current Assets - Current Liabilities) and then calculate in an exam style question. Enjoy!

This is a fun activity idea taken from my Python series of lessons. IT IS NOT A FULL LESSON, it's just a sample of what my paid resources look like and helps me balance my premium and free resources. My premium resources are all FULL lessons with full differentiated outcomes, student handouts and stretch activities for higher abilities. This particular activity a fun task using Python version 3 which introduces ASCII code and gets your students to create their own ASCII Art from characters using Python Print commands. It's not available in my paid resources, so if you've bought the lessons you should also download this activity! Enjoy.

Easy to fill in coupons to reward positive behaviour or good work. 8 per page, so they're small enough to print a shed load and have them at hand when marking or teaching. Teachers just need to fill in the 'IOU' circle with the reward being given (we use VIVOs and just fill in IOU 10 Vivos, but this could easily be house points, commendations etc.) A tangible method of rewarding your students - they do something good, they something immediately. I get students to fill their name in on the coupon and 'post' them to me so I can reward later in the day when it's more convenient! Enjoy, for free!

Just to save you making them... 4 designs of Christmas cards for colouring. Print on A4 white card. Students could also design the inside, with a Christmas verse, and make an envelope from A3 coloured paper. Enjoy.

Cut out and sort cards as a paired/group task to show the dos and don'ts when writing a CV. Includes a CV template for your students to edit, or write over if not in a computer room. Enjoy!

This is an EXAMPLE PAGE from my paid resource; an eight page student booklet and six lesson outlines on Multimedia Presentations and Web Reliability. On its own though, this activity is a great starter that gets students comparing two websites and making decisions about which is more reliable. A following class discussion/debate about overall choices should lead to some agreed criteria for what a reliable website looks like or contains. I hope you can make use of this resource, enjoy!

Useful for GCSE ICT students. Exam style questions on Internet Security feature; the Human Response Test. Ideal for homework.

These instructions show you step by step how to LINK to a YouTube clip from your lesson PowerPoints. There are more complicated instructions to actually EMBED clips into your presentations within my resources (free). Once set up, you click the link within your presentation and then you'll be taken directly to your chosen clip. This saves having the link, copying and pasting it in, and then loading up YouTube and makes for a more professional approach to presenting your lesson. These instructions are correct at the time of writing and work for most versions of PowerPoint. There's no need to feedback if they don't work for you, it might be your computer/version. Enjoy!

Here I've outlined one way to embed YouTube clips into your lesson PowerPoints. If this doesn't work, or is too complicated, search my resources for the other method! These instructions go through step-by-step how to embed YouTube clips into PowerPoint. This is a temperamental process, so if it doesn't work, try my other method (don't feedback to tell me it doesn't work, it works for most!). The videos are actually embedded into your presentation so there's no need to visit YouTube. You will need an internet connection when you play the presentation though. Good luck! Enjoy...

Print this sheet on A3. This is a quite engaging and relatively accessible start to Business Studies, particularly for Year 9 or low ability groups OR useful for PSHE or Enterprise lessons. They DRAW their idea for a business (there’s a shop front, so most will come up with businesses in retail, though could equally be a service based business like Estate Agents etc.). They then design a logo, flyer and come up with a business name. After this (which is a good introduction), I teach GOODS and SERVICES and SECTORS then get them to complete their sheet fully. I also get them to colour and make it look good for display. I’ve also included a version I made for new students who had just arrived from Poland. Enjoy.

Ideal plenary to an E-Safety lesson, or an ice-breaker to a PSHE Internet Safety session. There is a sound track to the first slide too; save everything to one folder - if it doesn't work you may need to set it up! Macros enable the shapes to move, so make sure they are enabled when a warning appears. Hope you enjoy!

Please note: Fortnite is obviously not my product, this is for education purposes only, NOT for sale, and no copyright material is used within this resource AT ALL. This editable single slide starter has space for five differentiated questions and is based around a Fortnite™ theme. It’ll make the start of your lesson a little more engaging and should grab the attention of boys in particular, as well as making you look cooler! You MUST follow the question categories in order (below) otherwise they’ll catch you out and it’ll show you know nothing about Fortnite! Categories are based on the rarity of weapons within the game. Common - easiest question Uncommon Rare Epic Legendary - the most difficult question Alternative use: You could put more than one question in each box and direct different groups of students to complete each box. Fortnite itself is PEGI rated for players 12+ - so not a good idea to use this in a Primary setting.

A nice little sheet to get students thinking about Business costs. Students get help by finding the words in the word search! Enjoy.

Exactly what the title says! A blank, 5 period day, timetable template. Useful to give to students to copy up their weekly timetable or for teachers to display on the wall to show primary classes which lessons are scheduled for when. Uploaded as a Word document so it can be coloured/typed on to suit. There are two versions of the five period day to suit when you may have lunchtime. There's a six period day uploaded separately if that helps too! Enjoy!

This starter task introduces whether businesses OWN or OWE something. Essential when calculating working capital. There's a PowerPoint with answers. I've also uploaded a Working Capital booklet in my free resources which would follow this starter nicely and be an almost entire lesson! Enjoy.
