L.O. 19: Factorising III (Special)

We are learning to factorise double brackets (including perfect squares and difference between two squares).

Step 1: Explanation

Step 2: Developing Your Understanding

Your notes should include the following:

  • How can you factorise perfect squares (for example, x^2 + 10x +25)?

  • How can you factorise EASY different between two squares (for example, x^2 - 64)?

  • How can you factorise HARD different between two squares (for example, 9x^2 - 100y^2)?

Step 3: Perfect Squares

Step 4: Difference Between Two Squares

Step 5: Reflection

Our Learning Objective was: "We are learning to expand double brackets (including perfect squares and difference between two squares)". Please think about the following.

  • Can you do this?

  • What are your strengths and weaknesses?

  • How can you improve your weaknesses?
