What do teachers say about this resource? (6649)
An excellent resource to use at the beginning of a lesson to reinforce key concepts that have been learnt or for revision. These resources are simple and user friendly which is crucial for busy teachers. They are particularly useful for quantitative skills which can be a challenge for some business students. These resources help to give students much needed practice to improve their quantitative and analytical skills in Business Studies
I particularly liked this resource for a few reasons. It is very good for reinforcing students quantitative skills. This section of the course: 'managing business activities' is very heavy on calculations and ratios and it is important that students master these skills. It is a useful tool for differentiation. As the tasks usually get more difficult as the worksheet progresses, this allows the weaker students time to master the basic skills that are required, but also allows stronger students to move on to more challenging tasks. The resource also allows students to apply their knowledge in context and it closely follows the Edexcel Business Studies A Level syllabus.
This resource gives students the chance to practice the skills and knowledge that they have learnt in class. It enables them to reinforce the key concepts and principles that they have been learning about. They can also be used to introduce key topics that might appear complex in a textbook. The worksheets are user friendly and clear and concise, allowing students to focus on one or two clear syllabus objectives. This reduces the chance of cognitive overload and helps weaker students to master key business concepts.
This resource breaks down key business terms and concepts and gives students valuable practice in mastering these key principles. It is a useful differentiation tool as it allows weaker students to understand key concepts before moving on to more complex scenarios. This resource helps save busy teachers time and they can be used as starters, revision or homework tasks to reinforce learning.
Perfectly matches the specific Edexcel theme, and it can be used for Cambridge, AQA, OCR and IB...these starter and plenary activities provide a good supporting tool for teachers to enrich their teaching of new concepts and evaluate whether students have understood... value for money.

These starters help to break down complex concepts into more manageable chunks for students who may struggling with specific content..

This resource has many benefits for teachers: It can save teachers valuable time by giving them an engaging and effective way to introduce new material that is accessible to all their students.

Useful to consolidate learning and handy to have a resources where you have a series of useful starter and plenary activities which can take time to plan yourself. I particularly liked that each starter or plenary is linked to the topics covered in the specification. I also liked that the suggested answers are included at the back of the resource.
