Factorising Expressions

 

Students use the highest common factor to factorise algebraic expressions.

As learning progresses, they are challenged to investigate possible perimeters for a rectangle with algebraic lengths.

Differentiated Learning Objectives
  • All students should be able to fully factorise an algebraic expression in the form ax+b where a and b are both constants.
  • Most students should be able to fully factorise an algebraic expression in the form ax2+bx where a and b are both constants.
  • Some students should be able to fully factorise an algebraic expression in the form ax2y + bxy2 where a and b are both constants.
