What do teachers say about this resource? (7924)
A useful and well-structured resource. It supports long-term recall through an extensive bank of questions aligned with the Edexcel International GCSE specification, and the starter activities help to focus students quickly at the beginning of lessons. While the timing of some activities may vary in practice, the resource is flexible and easy to adapt, making it a valuable tool for supporting learning and engagement ... I particularly liked the links to real-world examples, such as the stock market and sports, as these helped to broaden discussion and make the concepts more engaging and relevant for students ... Well suited to ‘Do Now’ tasks and lesson starters. It helps students to settle quickly, focus their attention, and immediately engage with key concepts. The questions support retrieval practice and reinforce prior learning, which is valuable for building long-term recall
Short revisions on all topics ... Providing answers in a separate file is good as it offers teachers choice when and how to give these to pupils ... Very useful for revision sessions, starters and plenaries. Good range of questions and cover the whole course... Probably used by teachers as starters, plenaries (exit ticket?) or for revision sessions, but could also be used by students for revision. Educational value is practice. Some questions are more straightforward drill, others are higher order... Clear and well laid out, I like that there are two sheets on each topic allowing choice and/or repetition... Covers the whole course well: an HL student could work through all of these and increase confidence greatly, for revision.
