16.1d - Expanding Double Brackets Relay - Problem Solving

This a relay activity containing 20 questions (of increasing difficulty) .

The questions start off with expanding over a single bracket and work the way up to expanding double brackets in a problem solving context.
There are also revision questions based upon previously taught topics scattered throughout the resource.

Are you a teacher who wants all of their lessons planned for them? Are you a head of maths who has to set a lot of cover work? Are you a senior leader who struggles to ensure consistency of teaching quality within you maths department? Do you have a lot of none specialists who will naturally have limitations in their mathematical knowledge? Are you a teacher who craves structure and full course content? If you answered yes to any of these then these resources are the ones for you. The lesson contains fully worked examples, differentiated questions and the application of the topic in a different context whilst also taking every opportunity to incorporate previously taught topics to consolidate the student's knowledge. Each lesson has been developed by a colleague who has successfully planned resources for his department of 10 where he was the only maths specialist! Within the space of three years he led the department to 81% A* - C (from 34%) with 79% (from 32%) expected progress. This has been maintained for the subsequent three years within a school containing 55% PP with students being significantly below the national average for ability on entry.
