Resource:
Differentiated Task on Factorising Simple Expressions.
Red ( foundation Stage) ; Basic style factorising ( 3x + 6,
-2x-4)
Amber (Developing Stage); still quiet basic ( for example: a squared + 12a)
Green (Secure Stage); Factorising simple expressions with confidence - squares and cubes in both terms etc.
Idea behind tasks; This task is to address a gap in knowledge for many of my foundation pupils with factorising expressions. They often get no marks when it includes a square or they start off correctly and then mess up the bracket. This is to really hammer home the style of question for two marks in the exam that should definitely earn our pupils full marks.
Pupils choose which colour they feel confident attempting. If they are really confident they should choose green, the secure option, if they are struggling they should choose the red or amber option (foundation – basic assessment of skill, amber is a little bit harder).
Pupils show the questions, working out and answers that they have attempted in their class book.
Pupils self assess or peer assess at the end of activity to show themselves how much progress they have made.
Answers provided for each stage.
Printing tip;
Print - fit to page or fill entire page so they only print on A4. Choose this option on your printer.
I have changed the background to white to make it cheaper.
