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.
