Students learn how to factorise an algebraic expression into a pair of brackets using the highest common factor.
As learning progresses students are challenged to factorise expressions involving multiple unknowns and powers.
Differentiated Learning Objectives
- All students should be able to factorise an expression in the form ax ± c
- Most students should be able to factorise an expression in the form ax ± by
- Some students should be able to factorise an expression involving powers.
