Factorising with a single bracket - worksheet

This 2-sided worksheet is a good way to introduce/revise factorising with a single bracket. There is a brief introduction to explain the difference between “factorise” and “factorise fully”, together with a few examples to work through as a class to illustrate the method for each type of question.

There are then lots of questions for students to attempt, starting with the most straightforward where just one number is put outside the bracket, working up to questions where numbers and variables need to be outside the bracket.

Solutions are included.
