Unit 5 Operations Management is the final stretch of the IB Business Management course, and it can feel like a big mountain to climb. Students are getting restless and nervous about the exams. And why is the last unit the longest and hardest? Especially for HL students, it can be overwhelming. I remember dreading this unit for the first few years. The students were checked out and just wanted to finish everything. With limited real-world experience in operations, it was hard to get examples and ideas from them. I knew I had to change my approach to keep the energy going and ensure students were well-prepared for their final exams.
Why choose our resources?
I spent hours searching for fun and engaging activities. Some of them didn’t work, but some were a great success. I kept the student-tested and approved ones so that you can use them with your students. Our resources are designed to keep your students interested and motivated, even at the end of the course. With interactive PowerPoints and comprehensive worksheets, you’ll be able to deliver lessons that are both fun and educational.
