Lesson presentations and activities
The new 9-1 higher syllabus requires pupils to expand three binomials. I built a visualisation for (a+b)³ using multi-link cubes.

I haven't watched it yet but it looks very similar to the Montessori "trinomial cube", one of my favourite pieces of classroom equipment. How wonderful that you made it with cubes, lucky kids!

These three powperpoints are designed to lead people through multiplying out brackets. I would suggest searching for Alex Bellos' different ways of doing long multiplication on YouTube as they link nicely in with the first bit of the 'Multiplying out 2 brackets' presentation and are a bit of fun too.

Perfect resource for teaching pupils how to expand triple brackets - new grade 9-1 GCSE content.
Starter: Expanding double brackets x2 questions.
The resource includes 3 (fully animated) practice questions. I personally use grid method to avoid common mistakes made by pupils.
There are then 9 practice questions with answers. DIFFERENTIATED to stretch the most able pupils. 3 questions require pupils to form expressions for the volume of a cuboid, triangular prism and cube.
This is a CATCHPHRASE activity. Pupils answer questions to reveal a picture - 'Hole in One'.Reviews

Practice questions, homeworks and assessments
A tarsia for GCSE Mathematics students to multiply three brackets. The cubic coefficient is 1 in all cases. The sign in the brackets is usually +. As this activity could take a long time there is also a reliance on recognising the difference of 2 squares.

I've designed this lesson to build up students knowledge of expanding double brackets.
It begins with a picture activity as the students come into the classroom they have to connect the images to figure out what the lesson is about (This is optional)
It begins with a stopwatch starter where students need to to answer four simplifying and expanding algebraic expression questions.
I'm very much aware that there are several different common approaches to teaching expanding brackets. I've included examples for each of the following methods. I know the method I teach sometimes varies on the class I am teaching. Feel free to swap the order and delete the examples you don't want, I felt it was important to give options though.
Form x^3+bx^2+cx+d
1) Grid Method - 3 progressively harder examples
2)FOIL/Crabs claw method - 3 progressively harder examples
The there are 3 questions for students to try in book.
Form ax^3+bx^2+cx d
1) Grid Method - 2 progressively harder examples
2)FOIL/Half moon - 2 progressively harder examples
The there are 3 questions for students to try in book.
This then leads to two tick or trash questions, where the students need to select which person has answered the question correctly and discuss what the misconception of the other person was.
There is then a n interactive wheel of fortune quizzing activity where students can come to the board. Spin the wheel, click the section it lands on, answer the question and total their points.
The resource then in includes a differentiated focused activity which progressively gets harder. This gives students a chance to master and enhance their skills. It includes 5 separate sections a skill 1 & 2 and a stretch 1. These are all displayed on the same slide for ease of use.
Then to finish there is an application on how this could be seen in an exam situation with 2 exam style questions including answers.
I hope you find this resource as useful as my students have.

Ideal for GCSE revision, this worksheet contains exam-type questions which require the Expansion of Triple Brackets. The questions gradually increase in difficulty, with some challenging problems at the end.
These review sheets are great to use in class or as a homework. They are also excellent for one-to-one tuition and for interventions.
For similar-style revision sheets on other topics, click 👉 tes.com/../more...
Included is a NEW STYLE of PowerPoint, which allows individual questions to be selected for enlarged display onto a screen. The answer can then be worked out ‘live’ by the teacher (or student) or a single click will reveal my solution. This not only helps in class, but it is also very useful for a student who is revising at home 😀.
