Dear all
Welcome to the July newsletter for IGCSE Economics.
Having launched in April 2023, InThinking IGCSE Economics is now used by more than 50 teachers and 220 students in Asia Pacific, South America, and Europe. The website contains content for the entire Cambridge IGCSE Economics 0455 (and 0987) syllabus. Students at subscribing schools can have completely free access, including use of the site as an e-book for the 2-year course.
In addition, there are lesson activities, interactive quizzes, revision flashcards, glossary of Economics key terms, embedded videos (many with accompany worksheets and answers), as well as Paper 1 and Paper 2 exam practice questions to support students. Content on the website is being added on a weekly basis.

Additional true or false quizzes have also been added to the website. These are useful for supporting students when reviewing their understanding of the contents of the syllabus. For example, 20 T/F questions have been added for Unit 3.7.5 (Objectives of firms), which can be accessed here.
A new video worksheet for Unit 3.7 has been added here. It is based on the Theranos company, in the context of the importance of social welfare as an objective of firms. The video documentary is embedded for your ease of access, along with teacher notes for the worksheet questions.
The IGCSE Economics website will continue to be updated with additional resources throughout July in time for the new academic year.

With best wishes
