What is the resource?

This PDF provides blank grids specifically designed for a key algebra skill: factorising double brackets. The grids help visualise the process, especially for secondary learners.

Why is factorising double brackets important?

Factorising is like reversing the expansion process in maths. It has wide-ranging uses:

Problem-solving: Helps solve tricky quadratic equations (those with x² terms).
Graph shapes: The factored form reveals essential information about parabolas.
Advanced maths: It serves as a foundation for numerous topics in higher-level maths.

Why is this resource helpful?

Grids offer a structured and visual way to learn factorising:

Step-by-step support: Keeps the process organised, reducing confusion.
Focus on patterns: Grids make the link between numbers and factors visually clear.
Less intimidating: Breaks down a complex skill into manageable chunks.
Printable PDF: Can be used across lessons, as revision material, or as homework aid.

This resource guides students through the often tricky process of factorisation. This helps build confidence and mastery of the algebra basics.

Also, have a look at our wide range of worksheets that are specifically curated to help your students practice their skills related to expanding brackets. These teaching resources and worksheets are in PDF format and can be downloaded easily.
