With factorising and removing brackets of cubics being new to the GCSE specifications last year I have introduced these two lesson to my class teaching.
Starting with removal of brackets students are able to extend from the two brackets situation to the three brackets.
The following lesson looks at the more complicated factorising a cubic. Initially starting with the first factor given style of question before looking at factorising with no hint given.
Worksheets are given for both lessons which could be used in class or as a piece of homework.
