March 2022 updates and notices
Dear subscribers
February has been and gone, but it sure was an extremely busy month!
With the official release of the Paper 1 pre-release case study (Peacewick University) on 1st February, it's be full steam ahead in getting resources up on the website to support the 1,246 teachers and 10,564 students now using InThinking Business Management.
There are more than fifteen different activities that you can use with your students to prepare for the exam on 28th April 2022.
Many of these have been created and shared by our InThinking subscribers!
These activities include:
YouTube video of the case study
Key terms
Comprehension quiz
The Hot Potato Game
True or False quiz
Personnel Profiles
Jeopardy Game
Give Me Five activity
SWOT Analysis
Key terms flash cards
Quizizz Paper 1 Quiz
Tridominoes!

The 5,4,3,2,1 Quiz
Exam practice questions
You can access the Paper 1 activities here.
For teachers who might be interested in learning more about how they can support students in preparing for the Paper 1 exam, InThinking will be hosting two Paper 1 upskilling courses in March. Lot of additional resources will be shared at these upskilling events. For details, please take a look here:
Keys to Success: Paper 1 in DP Business Management, 10th March 2022
Other updates for this month:
A new exam practice question for Unit 5.4 has been added here.
A new A-Z Branding Quiz has been added here - it's a resource that I developed with Tutor2u several years ago. It is totally editable, and a great lesson activity for Unit 4.5 (branding). You'll need to have "Macros" enabled on PowerPoint, but the rest should be intuitive. I hope you enjoy using this.
I've also added a new ATL Activity called "Lego Profit and Loss" to help students learn to construct the P&L account in a more fun and engaging way using Lego bricks. You can do the same for Balance sheets too. Why not give it a try? The link is here.
A new ATL Activity for Unit 5.6 (the supply chain process) has been added here.
And finally, don't forget to keep an eye on this tab for the new syllabus 2022 (which was officially released on 1st February 2022 on MyIB).
The new Business Management Toolkit has been populated, with many of the tools now included; there will be more to come shortly to complete this section of the website for the new syllabus. For those currently supervising students for the Extended Essay, you might find the new BMT of use now, rather than waiting for the next academic year.
Many thanks for your ongoing support. I wish you all a productive month ahead as you support your students for the upcoming examinations.
Kind regards
Paul
