Pupils practise expanding brackets. This sheet doesnt have any terms squared as its meant to allow stuedents to grasp confidently multiplying numbers and letters and to be able to write expressions after expanding.
A fully differentiated lesson with an extension on expanding brackets. Each section is also differentiated with negatives or coefficients being at the end rather than start of the question which throws a lot of students off balance. I had been observed teaching this lesson and received very positive feedback about planning, covering misconceptions and differentiation.
