GCSE Business (Edexcel) Unit 1 Mindmaps

GCSE Business (Edexcel) Unit 1 Mindmaps

(4)
Exactly what it says in the title! In PPT format so that they can be tweaked or repurposed - the mindmap itself is an image however. If there are any errors let me know, they have been checked but you never know! Designed not to be fully comprehensive as I use them as a wall display - they could form the basis of a starting point for student notes.

GCSE Business (Edexcel) Unit 3 Mindmaps

Exactly what it says in the title - this is for the 'Building a Business' unit. In PPT format so that they can be tweaked or repurposed - the mindmap itself is an image however.

GCSE Business Revision Game (Edexcel 5BS01)
jjd.turnerjjd.turner

GCSE Business Revision Game (Edexcel 5BS01)

(5)
A PowerPoint based quiz. Click on the number to select a random question (based on past papers) - once finished, click on the man and you come back to the number board to go again (the already chosen numbers fade out). Simple. You can use this as one at a time "pick a number challenge"; "teams challenge" etc... All slides can be edited to change the questions - you can add what ever you like; as long as the number board and man are not deleted you can put what ever you like on the slides. Perhaps make the colours relevant to more and less able students, or for different sub modules within the course. The options are boundless. Feel free to use and modify as you see fit.
Interactive Quiz of the Year 2017
jjd.turnerjjd.turner

Interactive Quiz of the Year 2017

(1)
An interactive (don't worry all instructions are in the notes panel for each slide) 23 slide PowerPoint based quiz covering a range of things from 2017. Sufficient rounds and activities for an hour - but could be cut into separate shorter sessions easily. I have included some images in the files attached to give a preview. Included are; Two rounds of family fortunes (including all noises and clickable answers) - you could take this and make more rounds [festive or not] from this template... An advent calendar of sports to name the winners of blue ribband events this year around the world... A number of 'mystery' people from 2017 that appear from behind a myriad of Christmas decorations covering their face... A round of matching the key events to given dates ... A round of can you spot the celebrity with a Christmas birthday?... A round of spot the winners from the reality TV shows of the year... Two rounds of higher or lower based on key numbers from 2017... The obligatory music round - spot the lyrics from the songs released this year with sound bite samples of the originals... And five rounds of 'word of the year' based on Countdown's letters game - another template you could easily adapt which includes working clock and 30 second music. I have decided to charge for this resource as it has taken me seven hours to compile (albeit on a snow day!). I have not included a scoring system, as every class is different. But I think that this would lend itself well to teams - the choice though I have left to you! Enjoy.

Student-Led Self Evalution & Target Setting Form
jjd.turnerjjd.turner

Student-Led Self Evalution & Target Setting Form

(1)
A useful assessment and reflection tool, that comes in three parts. (The example is for Business but it will work with any AO led assessment) After an extended piece of writing / assessment, students immediately offer a rating on how well they were anle to access the AO's that were assessed. They can then add a comment to support this. This is actually very infomrative before you mark the piece, as you get an insight into how the student found it and how they self-assess their performance to be. The second section (note the smallest) allows a teacher mark (broken down by AO if you want) and simple comment - NOT a target. The third section is for the student to reflect on their progress inlight of your comment and the marked piece and then to set themselves SMART targets of how they can improve. This section also allows a tick to show whether they have acheived it (an OfSted pleaser for progress over time).
A simple little Break-Even calculator

A simple little Break-Even calculator

(0)
Exactly as the title says. This simple Excel spreadsheet allows a student to plug in some fixed costs, variable costs and a selling price to see what the breakeven level of output would be. Use it as a demonstration to show what happens in real time if costs / revenues change, or as a tool to support students in analysing break even where performing the calcualations is not necessary. The first tab is an example (as seen in the image) with explanations/instructions that teachers/students can refer to. The second tab is a fill-in sheet to build your own! Oh, the example tab (as per the image) is locked to try to stop students accidentally breaking it - but there is no password!
GCSE Business Exam Skills Lessons

GCSE Business Exam Skills Lessons

(0)
Resources to help deliver the principles of 'Knowledge, Application, Analysis and Evaluation' at GCSE Business Studies. The resources are designed to be fun and engaging, and meet a range of learning styles. Student notes to accompany each presentation with space for activities to be recorded are included. Although this resource supports Edexcel 5BS03, I deliver it in year 10 to be able to get my classes writing effectively early. As such you may want to tweak the subject of questions to suit. Each resource can be edited fully to meet a groups needs, and I have included notes at the foot of each resource to explain how they are intended to be used, including how to run the range of activities each is reinforced with. I would recommend reading the notes at the bottom of each slide beforehand to know when sugar paper, scissors glue and cut-ups need to be pre-prepared! The two presentations (33 slides) cover approximately three hours of learning; I delivered the assessment objectives PowerPoint over two one hour lessons. The model answer provided is based on a case study in the 'Unit 1: Introduction to Business' book - ISBN 978-1-8469-0496-7.
QI Game Template (Klaxon answers!)
jjd.turnerjjd.turner

QI Game Template (Klaxon answers!)

(0)
A simple little game template based on the quiz show QI. It can be adapted to any lesson or subject you please by changing the image on the prompt slide, and then the text on the 'klaxon' page that follows. The example on here has been set up to trip Business Studies students into saying brand names rather than generic terms (i.e. calling vacuuming "doing the Hoovering") to reinforce the power of brands and trademarks and hence their value. The klaxon is actually a small clip on each of the black slides - do not delete this! You will need sound to get the full experience! Enjoy!

AS/A2 Business Writing Frame

AS/A2 Business Writing Frame

(0)
A simple framework structure for student to follow which outlines the structure required for differing types of question. The resource can be adapted for other subjects too, the example here is used for AO1 - Knowledge; AO2 - Application; AO3 - Analysis and AO4 - Evaluation. The number of arguments may be developed for example for a 18 or 34 mark question - but the basic structure stays the same.

Four short video clips (between 3 and 14 seconds each) to illustrate different features of cash flow.
