Expanding Triple Brackets (A) WORKSHEET

Suitable for Year groups: Year 10, Year 11
GCSE Tier: Higher
Targeting grades: 6-7
Prerequisite knowledge: Expanding double brackets. Use of grid method/area model
Learning Objective: Manipulate algebraic expressions by expanding brackets

Expanding Triple Brackets (A) WORKSHEET DESCRIPTION

This worksheet is the ideal place for students to begin expanding sets of three brackets.

In section A, learners will expand a pair of brackets, one containing a quadratic expression and one linear, using the grid method/area model. All terms are positive and scaffolding decreases as the questions progress.

Then, learners will expand sets of three brackets in section B.

Section C introduces negative terms and section E involves some problem solving including a spot, explain and correct question.

Questions throughout the worksheet are carefully selected to give students the opportunity to spot patterns and deepen their knowledge, particularly considering the effect of negative terms.

All worksheets are created by the team of experienced teachers at Cazoom Maths.

Frequently Asked Questions

Students should be confident with expanding double brackets and familiar with using the grid method or area model approach before tackling triple brackets. This foundation is essential because the worksheet builds systematically from expanding pairs of brackets in the initial section to the more complex triple bracket expansions that follow.
