Writing Exact Answers Using Surds WORKSHEET DESCRIPTION

This worksheet follows on nicely from Simplifying Surds (A) and (B).

Section A consolidates multiplying and simplifying surds before some simplifying and collecting like surd questions.

Section B then asks learners to expand some brackets – single brackets, double brackets and squaring brackets – before simplification.

Section C involves some more simplifying and collecting like surds and the worksheet ends with an open extension question to challenge learners.
