A KS3 investigatory activity worksheet looking at three number patterns: Kaprekar’s Sequence, Pascal’s Triangle and Fibonacci Sequence. Students investigate the patterns, and make predictions on subsequent terms.

This is a great step-by-step flowchart to help students understand factorizing polynomials. It can be printed out as a worksheet or used on the IWB. I have used this extensively with Australian Year 9 students to guide them through the steps in factoring polynomial expressions.
