Multiplying out Algebraic Brackets

Students learn how to expand a pair of brackets with the constant and unknown on the outside.

As learning progresses, students expand brackets with terms involving powers and multiple unknowns.

Differentiated Learning Objectives

• All students should be able to expand a bracket with one unknown and the constant on the outside.
• Most students should be able to expand a bracket with multiple unknowns.
• Some students should be able to expand a bracket involving powers.
