Expanding Quadratics (Double brackets) using algebra tiles (Mastery style) Positives only

A lesson to introduce expanding quadratics with a focus on positives only.
The lesson uses algebra tiles to model the structure behind expanding quadratics before progressing into grid method.

Ideally the students would have seen algebra tiles before, but there are some slides explaining and modelling these if they haven’t seen them before.

Lesson structure:

1. Do it now on expanding single brackets (with answers)
2. Recap of algebra tiles
3. Examples of modelling of expanding quadratics with algebra tiles, then leading into a more abstract grid method.
4. I try, you try style examples
5. Task for students to notice patterns and links between ‘b’ and ‘c’ (Credit to Miss Konstantine @GiftedHKO) - with answers
6. Multiple choice AfL questions
7. Student tasks (3 sheets) - Do it, secure it, deepen it, apply it - Answers provided
   Links to AO1, AO2 and AO3
8. Review of lesson with answers
