teaching expanding and factorising brackets at a year 9 level

This resource focuses on Algebraic Expressions, particularly the operations of expansion and factorisation involving brackets. Students will learn how to confidently expand single and double brackets, factorise expressions back into brackets, and identify terms, coefficients, and like terms. Key concepts like the distributive property, inverse processes of expansion and factorisation, and methods such as the FOIL method are covered through guided practice and independent exercises. The document includes definitions of important vocabulary, worked examples, and step-by-step guidelines to facilitate understanding and mastery of the material. Additionally, it provides a connection between the two processes, emphasizing their interdependence, alongside practice tasks and reflection on confidence levels regarding the skills acquired.
