A complete, fully differentiated lesson with examples using the grid method and a range of clear progress checks before each RAGed task (with answers) on the following learning objectives: Understand how to find the highest common factor of a number and an algebraic term. Use the HCF to factorise an expression into a single bracket. This lesson can be used with KS3 or KS4 students as it also involves factorising into a set of single brackets. This PowerPoint also shows clear progression through the lesson using the learning objectives.

A complete, fully differentiated lesson on expanding double brackets with examples using the grid method and a range of clear progress checks before each RAGed tasks (with answers) on the following learning objectives: Understand how to use the grid method to expand a set of double brackets. Apply the grid method in order to expand a single bracket squared. Discover the difference of two squares rule. This lesson can be used with KS3 or KS4 students as it also involves expanding a set of double brackets. This PowerPoint also shows clear progression through the lesson using the learning objectives.

A complete, fully differentiated lesson with examples using the grid method and a range of clear progress checks before each RAGed task (with answers) on the following learning objectives: Understand how to multiply terms. Use knowledge on multiplying terms to expand single brackets. Apply expanding single brackets in order to expand a set of single brackets. This lesson can be used with KS3 or KS4 students as it also involves expanding a set of single brackets. This PowerPoint also shows clear progression through the lesson using the learning objectives.
