Sales and profit
Description
The rules of a simple business game that helps teach cost types, revenues, profit and price-setting are explained and demonstrated.Head of Business studies Gill Wright, from Brighouse High School, West Yorkshire, knows that teaching abstract concepts can be difficult for pupils to grasp using traditional methods. However, a game she's devised, involving an ordinary shop-bought cake, appears to work well with her Key Stage 4 pupils. To play it Gill divides her class into small groups each competing against each other to sell the most cake. The pupils achieve sales - Gill is the buyer - by manipulating costs and price. The winners get the actual cake at the end of the lesson. Business education experts Duncan Cullimore and David Hall observe Gill's lesson, citing its practicality and ease of delivery as positive attributes.
