Using musical instruments in class for the ‘beat’, I have created a summary revision lesson on the main content for the Unit 2 online Business Finance exam. With definitions, examples and some common points that may be useful in the ‘explain’ questions, this is a final revision before mock practice (prior to the exam). Thanks for taking an interest in this resource. I hope it helps if you purchase it.

3 Scenarios using the following calculations: SR - COS = GP GP/SR x 100= GPM% GP - OOE = NP NP/SR x 100 = NPM%

5 scenarios using the following calculations: FC+FC+FC = TFC VC+VC+VC = VCpU VCpU x Q = TVC TFC+TVC = TC SP x Q = TR TR-TC =P or L

Help students to revise the concepts in the run up to the exam: Hand out a memory jogger: 1 minute (think), 1 minute (pair) then class discussion (share) A great way to revise a topic before getting them to attempt a previous exam question.

Prepare students for the A452 Practical Investigation with MySQL (June 2017 submission) using these walk-through-talk-through guides I developed for my Year 10 class. Creating a database Creating tables Sorting and filtering tables Joining tables Creating queries on multiple tables

My Business students have a good business knowledge but terms in the exam questions seem to confuse them. These two sheets show keywords used in previous exam papers which I am using as a final revision tool with students.

Use these as revision guides to help students prepare for the MySQL practical investigation for A452 Controlled Assessment (June 2017 submission)

Are your students struggling with breakeven? They can follow an example, and yet when doing an exam question go blank? This story is designed to teach breakeven in a relaxed way, where students 'become' the characters who need to breakeven. Hope it can help make the breakeven concept seem easier.

Evaluate the usefulness and ease of use of maintaining a database with MySQL, compared with using Query By Example (QBE) In preparation for the A452 Controlled Assessment material 2, I created this activity so that students could see the difference between creating a resource in Microsoft Access compared with command line in MySQL. Worked well for them completing Task 9 of the controlled assessment

Converting numbers - a key skill for the A451 exam. Use these resources as 5 minute starters to engage students on arrival to lesson, and cover an important topic at the same time. More to follow as I develop these during the Autumn term.

Introduce students to BTEC Business or GCSE Business with this short induction unit. Develop a team ethos in the class from the outset, with The Pop Challenge. Bring a sense of competition to the class whilst introducing elements of marketing.

This lesson looks at how to create a decision tree for a problem to be solved in Python. The program then uses functions to search for keywords in user responses. The first function provides a response internal to the program whereas the second function looks externally and imports the information from a text file. As .py file extensions are not accepted, I have uploaded it as a text file - this simply needs copied and pasted into Python IDLE.
