Quick preparation

• simplify algebraic expressions, expand binomial products and factorise monic quadratic expressions
• expanding combinations of binomials such as (x+7)(x+8),\;(x+7)(x-8),\;(x-7)(x+8),\;(x-7)(x-8) to identify expansion and factorisation patterns…
• using manipulatives such as algebra tiles or area models to expand or factorise algebraic expressions with readily identifiable binomial factors; for…
