What you get

60 taught lessons across 30 weeks. Each one has an objective, a minute by minute sequence for a 60 minute hour, teaching points that name the error students actually make, a task with its own data, and full answers with the working shown.
Six unit assessments, 270 marks, every mark scheme written. Built to the shape of 0455 Paper 2 Section B, where Cambridge sets each question at 20 marks across four part questions running from short to extended response, with a levels ladder on the extended parts. Cambridge does not print the individual part tariffs in the syllabus, so check the specimen paper for your own exam series.
Six question banks, 72 questions with answers. These run the practice hour, which is the third timetabled hour of every week.
30 retrieval quizzes, 150 questions with answers. Projectable in the PowerPoint. Every set covers the two lessons just taught, and from week 3 onward at least one question reaches back to earlier teaching.
The eleven diagrams, drawn. Each one with what earns the mark and the error to name in advance, and each one taught in a named lesson and revisited later.
Three formats. A 116 page print ready PDF, the whole year as an editable Word file, and a 74 slide PowerPoint.

Every number checks out

Every economy, market and firm in the tasks is written for teaching, in the way exam board stimulus material is. That is deliberate: made for purpose data lets every question have a checkable answer and stops the pack going stale when a real statistic is revised. Before publication every stated numeric answer was recomputed independently from its own case data, and every elasticity value, curve shift, tax incidence split, exchange rate conversion and current account total was checked against the economic logic it claims.

Written for the Cambridge IGCSE Economics 0455 syllabus for 2026. All six sections of the subject content, in the order Cambridge lists them, with the syllabus reference on every lesson page down to the numbered subsection. If your class is entered for 2027 or later, read the 2027 to 2029 syllabus first. In that cycle Paper 1 goes from 30 to 40 marks and from 45 minutes to 1 hour, Paper 2 goes from 90 to 80 marks and from 2 hours 15 minutes to 2 hours, the assessment objective weightings change, and Cambridge has reordered and reduced some content, so the mark tariffs quoted above and not every subsection reference on the lesson pages will line up. Some regions also enter candidates under separate codes, so check the syllabus for your own exam series and entry code before you plan assessment dates around it. Currency is shown in dollars throughout, following the convention used in 0455 question papers.

What it is not

No past papers and no Cambridge mark schemes: those are Cambridge copyright and are available to centres from the School Support Hub, so reprinting them here would add cost and no value. No textbook chapters, and no video or online component. The levels ladder is this pack's own, written against the three assessment objectives. It is not a reproduction of a Cambridge mark scheme grid and it is not a prediction of one.

Questions teachers ask

Is it really the whole year? Yes. 30 weeks at three timetabled hours a week, which is 90 planned hours: 60 written lessons plus 30 practice hours, six of which are the unit assessments. Nothing is left as an outline.

Can I change things? Everything. The Word file carries the entire year as ordinary Word text, so the economies, the figures and the sequence are all yours to edit.

We teach it over two years, does that work? Yes. Use this as the taught core in the first year and spend the second on depth, past paper technique and revision, which this pack does not attempt to replace.

What if it is not for me? Try the free sample first. It shows the format, the teaching approach and the level of detail before you pay. Because the full pack downloads instantly, change-of-mind refunds are not normally offered once the files have been accessed or downloaded. If you are charged twice, cannot access the files, or the pack is materially defective or does not match its description, contact support@thebusiness.school and we will put it right. This does not affect your statutory rights.
