Worksheet to help students simplify like terms, then extend to multiplying over a single bracket

A lesson to introduce expanding single brackets. Algebra tiles are used to model expanding brackets, focusing on forming expressions at the start of the lesson. This would be a good introduction to algebra tiles. The lesson aims to reveal the structure behind expanding brackets and link to the fact that it is an area model. Do it now on collecting like terms Introdcution/recap to algebra tiles Writing expressions and how we can represent expressions using algbera tiles. Examples of modelling expanding brackets using algebra tiles Multiple choice question A 3 page scaffolded worksheet using a reflect, expect, check style like MrBartonMaths. (Attached as second document) Modelling of examples with negatives Fill in the gaps style activity Reasoning questions, explain the mistake, which one is correct etc. Review questions Feedback is welcome so I can improve these lessons thank you. Please check out my other lessons for a similar style. Check out my expanding brackets bundle or Following this there are lessons on: Expanding quadratics Expanding quadratics with a coefficient more than 1. Thank you

Algebra. Creating and Expanding Double Brackets. Christmas Challenge. FULL SET Brighten up algebra in the run up to Christmas with this fun little festive challenge. Students need produce two expressions for the area of the surface of my Christmas dinner table – one with brackets and one without. They are presented with two expressions, one for the length and one for the width of the table. To find the first expression (with brackets), they need to apply the formula for the area of a rectangle i.e. multiply length by width. These brackets can then be expanded to produce a second expression for the area of the table. This is a PowerPoint Presentation so it can be easily displayed on the board and/or printed for students. What you are downloading here is the full set which contains a title page, instructions, 20 blank challenges and 20 corresponding answer slides. The full set covers:- (x+)(x+) (x+)(x-) (x-)(x-) (nx+)(nx+) (nx+)(nx-) (nx-)(nx-) A free sample is also available to download and try which contains the title page, instructions, one blank question and corresponding answer slide.

Maths codebreakers are an engaging way for students to practice skills and address any misconceptions.
