This resource is a comprehensive introductory lesson on Break-Even Analysis for Edexcel GCSE Business, ideal for students encountering break-even for the first time.
Included is a high-quality PowerPoint and a set of carefully designed worksheets, all aligned to the Edexcel GCSE Business specification.
An engaging PowerPoint covering:
Fixed, variable and total costs
Revenue and the break-even point
Clear worked examples and break-even diagrams
An A3 dual-purpose worksheet / knowledge organiser
A calculation sheet to support students with break-even calculations
A challenge sheet to stretch higher-attaining students
Structured recap and application questions throughout the lesson
A key strength of this resource is how the main worksheet is used:
Printed on A3, double-sided (flip on short edge)
Folded so recap questions are on the front
Used as a knowledge organiser rather than a traditional worksheet
This approach works particularly well for:
Supporting revision and long-term retention
Assessing student progress during the lesson
Clearly identifying students who are not engaging or keeping up
Although some may describe this as a worksheet, I’ve found it has a much stronger impact as a knowledge organiser, especially for a calculation-heavy topic like break-even.
