This activity provides several strategies to deliver the concept of fixed and variable costs in a memorable way!

The need for students to understand fixed and variable costs is part of virtually every business specification and is also fundamental to understanding of area such as profit, break even, contribution and even issues such as quality.

This is one of my favourite ways to introduce the concept of costs. It is highly memorable meaning students are more likely to be engaged in the activity and therefore understand the concept more easily.
