This lesson is PERFECT for an end of term Computing lesson or as a really FUN introduction to Scratch Programming. The 17 slide PowerPoint guides acts as your FULL lesson planning, guiding students through the process of making a racing car game in Scratch. It introduces and explains key terms like Spite, Stage and Variable as the lesson goes along too. If you wish, you could give students the glossary handout to complete throughout the lesson as seven key terms have been highlighted in PINK text to be written into the glossary and defined as the lesson progresses (optional extra!). The lesson includes a short peer assessment activity to look at each other’s games and offer pointers for improvements. In addition, the code on the handout could be annotated by students as a homework task or additional plenary. The lesson includes an extension challenge for higher ability students (fully differentiated by outcome, task and resources available to students). This would really suit KS2 or KS3 classes. My students LOVED it; I’ve used it with all of my year 7 Computing groups as a fun end of term lesson AND with my lower ability year 9 Computer Science GCSE group as an ice breaker introductory lesson to programming basics. Enjoy!

Teacher slides and student booklet getting learners to develop a new ice cream product for ‘Jen and Berry’s’! Covers: Market research Primary & secondary research Creating a questionnaire Carrying out an interview Carrying out a focus group Target market Customer profiling Design ideas Feedback (self and peer) Final design choices Pricing strategies Calculating revenue and profit/loss Slides are editable if required. Booklet is 12 pages and contains an easy space for final marking on the front cover (very short too!!). All you need to do is print the booklet, break the slides down into lessons/chunks, decide which parts are your starters etc. and go for it!

Let’s learn about… Stakeholders! This lesson is FULLY resourced with a FULL lesson plan. It would suit a double lesson because of the amount of activities involved, though some could be used for homework or the lesson could be adapted for two single periods. 1. Starter - name all groups interested in the school 2. Introduce stakeholders 3. Who is each group? Differentiated. 4. What interest does each group have? Differentiated. 5. Birmingham Airport Case Study 6. Exit tickets to review understanding/learning Suits year 9 or year 10 students who have never covered stakeholders before. Enjoy!

This is a four page student booklet that shows an example balance sheet and profit and loss account. Students should complete all speech bubbles noting what each area of the financial documents shows OR how they’re calculated. There’s a final question from GCSE Applied Business Studies, outlining the format a good answer would take. Enjoy!

Everything is included! There’s a PowerPoint which guides teachers through the lesson, including speaker notes with additional commentary. Activities: Discuss differentiated outcomes / objectives Mind map ways a business can be ethical Discussion on ways a business can be ethical Cut and paste group sort activity ethical or unethical? (hand out/worksheet included) Discussion on ethical or unethical practice (answers included on PowerPoint) Design/display work (A3 handout) - students design a new ethical milkshake brand Differentiation: higher abilities also add how much their brand will do ethically compared to competitors. Should be quite a fun lesson for what is often a tedious topic. Some good display work can be produced too if students are allowed time to colour/design their brand ideas. Would also suit PHSE topics on ethical trading/fair trade etc.

An A4 sheet that asks learners to calculate fixed, variable and total costs from a given scenario. Comes as a printable PDF, a fillable PDF that can be hosted online and with an answer sheet too. **Perfectly suited to topic 5.3 of the GCSE OCR Business Studies course. ** Enjoy.

YOU MUST HAVE MS ACCESS TO USE THIS LESSON (THE FBI FILES IS A DATABASE!). Teachers need to show students how to carry out a query using Microsoft Access first. Students can then use the database provided to independently practice their ability to carry out a query by answering questions 1 - 7 on the provided handout. Teachers should then bring the class together to play 'Guess Who' using the PowerPoint and database. Teachers display the clues to each of the four people and students should carry out a query to find the correct person. A reward for each quickest query-carry-outer could be provided. A long activity to complete your database lesson for Key Stage 3 ICT or Computing/Computer Science!

This resource depends on you teaching Business Ownership first (sole traders, partnerships and companies). Students should be given a printed version of the puzzle (the one with two pages). I get them to work in pairs as they can both be cutting at the same time to reduce ‘cutting time’. They both cut out one of the pages then get to work creating a triangle solution by connecting matching statements. There is only ONE way the puzzle will become a triangle correctly, so it’s trial and error but a GREAT task to consolidate learning of Business Ownership topic. I then get learners to stick their puzzles down on A3 paper (two sheets, because it just sticks over one A3 page). Alternatively, you could cut the puzzle and laminate for year on year use. I’ve included the solution. To ensure ALL students can access it, I print the solution on A3 paper and stick it in the corridor. Each pair gets a few chances to go out and take a peek, if needed. Finally, I’ve included a plenary to review the tarsia puzzle and a homework true or false activity on Business Ownership, this might work well as a homework task to see what students have learnt from the puzzle. Enjoy!

Eight product posters that have now adopted brand names as their generally accepted nouns. Includes an introduction poster and conclusion. Whoever views this display needs to select a name they’d call each product… they add up a score and then the higher the score the more influenced someone has been by brand names. Great for Open Evening, particularly if two learners could lead it to discuss results to prospective parents.

This 8-page booklet is mapped against OCR GCSE Business Studies J204. This resource includes a printable PDF version AND a PowerPoint version that learners can complete and submit online, via Google Classroom etc.   Answers included in separate PDF document! Homework sheets on: The Finance Department/Function Sources of Finance Revenue and Costs Fixed and Variable Costs Break-even Point Break-even Chart Cash Flow Forecasts      If you set one page each week, that’s more than enough for a half term. The pages also act as a good discussion point for a starter in the following lesson too (win, win!).      To REDUCE MARKING - there’s the smallest space for teachers to put 4 ticks to assess each homework. Low stakes, low work-load marking!

Suitable for any Business Specification where students need to know what Fixed and Variable Costs are. Also discussed (and has an activity) for working out total costs and profit etc. DO NOT BUY if you already have my TASK 5 for Cambridge Nationals. This resource includes ALL theory notes, loads of activities. All top quality. Enjoy.

A quick and easy starter activity. Students need to name the parts of a computer (leading to my lesson on input, output or storage devices which is also available in my resources). Enjoy!

Instructions for teachers on how to create and use look up tables within Excel to calculate grades from scores automatically. Equally, you might use these instructions when teaching this skill to students. I hope these instructions are fairly straight forward. I used Excel 2013 for the print screens, though the skill is similar in whatever Excel version is being used. Great for staff training. ALL staff should know how to do this to save time when tracking data. Enjoy!

NEW! See a video preview of part of this resource below! Reading the description will help you see if this is suitable for your students' ability. I would say, however, that this resource is ideally suited to upper KS2 / lower KS3. This resource is a FULL lesson which introduces Mean Average. All four averages lessons are listed separately OR as one short unit of work at a discounted price, just check my other resources! The PowerPoint goes through what mean average is/how it's calculated. It then has two examples that can be done with your class (teacher led) - all answers are on the PowerPoint too. After each of the teacher led examples is one that students need to try themselves (these are labelled 'try it' on the PowerPoint). These are at the top of the worksheet. Students could try these, with help if needed - this could even be done is pairs. Finally, there's an independent task that has ten examples for students to calculate. These include numbers in the thousands, so differentiation by task is possible. Some answers include decimals. An answer sheet is provided for the teacher too. The lesson is reviewed by students feeding back at the bottom of their handout. All images are either royalty free or made by myself (those coins took some work!). Enjoy ;-)

BEFORE YOU COMMIT YOUR HARD EARNED MONEY; view the video to see the quality of this resource below! This PowerPoint contains eight generic starter activities suitable for upper KS2 to Post-16 teaching in ANY subject. I’ve also provided a set of teacher notes to accompany the resource which opens up the activities to a variety of adaptations which does mean the eight activities can be used over-and-over again, even with the same class! I’ve tried really hard to make sure the PowerPoint is well designed and engaging. The main aim was MINIMUM effort from the teacher, MAXIMUM gain - incorporating elements of literacy into ANY subject area. I’d love your feedback. Enjoy!

NEW! See a video of this resource in action below BEFORE choosing to buy. TOP quality, fully resourced purchase. Can I first apologise if anyone is actually French and using this! I think I have expertly translated as best I can. Excusez-moi! This version of my plenary selector gets students to look back at what they have learnt in a French lesson. Slide 1 includes a spinning wheel that can be stopped to choose the plenary for the lesson. There are seven different outcomes so it could be used regularly and routinely in lessons to get students to reflect on their learning, all fully resourced where required. The PowerPoint took ages to make and code, so please don’t share too readily! You must enable macros on your computer to allow it to work, or get in touch with your IT technician! Enjoy. I own all text, even the French stuff. Images are public domain and copyright free.

This lesson includes an editable lesson plan, PowerPoint for display, group work task, extension tasks, G&T task AND lower ability task. The lesson starts by recapping or introducing stakeholder groups. Students have a challenge to name or identify as many groups as possible. Students are then introduced to conflict with a scenario of a new supermarket opening locally. They must work in groups to focus on one stakeholder group each. This is discussed as a class. Conflict is discussed then an activity concludes the lesson on resolving the potential conflicts identified. Enjoy.
