I've designed this lesson to build up students knowledge of expanding double brackets.
It begins with a picture activity as the students come into the classroom they have to connect the images to figure out what the lesson is about (This is optional)
It begins with a stopwatch starter where students need to to answer four simplifying and expanding algebraic expression questions.
I'm very much aware that there are several different common approaches to teaching expanding brackets. I've included examples for each of the following methods. I know the method I teach sometimes varies on the class I am teaching. Feel free to swap the order and delete the examples you don't want, I felt it was important to give options though.
Form x^3+bx^2+cx+d
1) Grid Method - 3 progressively harder examples
2)FOIL/Crabs claw method - 3 progressively harder examples
The there are 3 questions for students to try in book.
Form ax^3+bx^2+cx d
1) Grid Method - 2 progressively harder examples
2)FOIL/Half moon - 2 progressively harder examples
The there are 3 questions for students to try in book.
This then leads to two tick or trash questions, where the students need to select which person has answered the question correctly and discuss what the misconception of the other person was.
There is then a n interactive wheel of fortune quizzing activity where students can come to the board. Spin the wheel, click the section it lands on, answer the question and total their points.
The resource then in includes a differentiated focused activity which progressively gets harder. This gives students a chance to master and enhance their skills. It includes 5 separate sections a skill 1 & 2 and a stretch 1. These are all displayed on the same slide for ease of use.
Then to finish there is an application on how this could be seen in an exam situation with 2 exam style questions including answers.
I hope you find this resource as useful as my students have.
