              Rearranging Formulae by Factorising

              Students learn how to change the subject of a formula by factorising and the balance method.  A treasure hunt activity is included as an additional resource for extra practice and consolidation.
              Differentiated Learning Objectives
              • All students should be able to rearrange a formula in the form ax+bx=c by factorising to make x the subject.
              • Most students should be able to rearrange a formula in the form (a/x)+b=c to make x the subject
              • Some students should be able to rearrange a formula in the form a/(x+d) = b/(x-c) to make x the subject.

This involved three Lead Inspectors visiting our school over the course of two days. The first day involved a ‘deep dive’ by each of the Lead Inspectors into Mathematics, English […]

              How to Solve Quadratics by Factorising

              June 30, 2019

              The method of how to solve quadratics by factorising is now part of the foundational knowledge students aiming for higher exam grades are expected to have.   Here is an example of such a question. Solve x2 + 7x – 18 = 0 In my experience of teaching and marking exam papers students often struggle with […]
