Thank you
Thank you for a great resource.
What a clever way to force the solvers to factorise rather than work back by expanding the answers. The animals make it more interesting, too. Error (I think!) in WALRUS - should be 2n^2 - 3 n - 2. I have uploaded a corrected version (with pictures!) - http://www.tes.co.uk/teaching-resource/Factorising-Quadratics-Tarsia-with-pictures-6115570/
