Expanding brackets and simplifying

This is a full lesson based on 80 mins but could easily be changed to suit your classes. The settling starter is a simplifying activity followed by the learning objective for the lesson. The main starter is a match up activity expanding one bracket. It then goes on to examples where you have 2 brackets to expand separately and then simplify the result there are differentiated questions to follow. The extra practice is a treasure hunt. The plenary is an exit ticket which is also available to print on a word document
