This is an excellent tarsia on quadratics, students could either be asked to expand the quadratics in brackets, or to factorise the quadratics not in brackets. The quadratics range in difficulty from simple cases to questions where a = 2 and a = 4, there are also questions using the difference of two squares. This would make an excellent activity at any stage of the lesson and would also allow you to listen to student discussion on this topic which can be so valuable. Thank you for sharing.
