Overview
This resource is a comprehensive set of downloadable worksheets designed to reinforce and enhance students’ skills in factorising single brackets. This set consists of six progressively challenging worksheets, each carefully crafted to guide learners through various levels of difficulty in mastering this fundamental algebraic concept.
Factorising Number Outside
The first worksheet serves as a solid foundation, introducing students to the basics of factorising single brackets. It covers simple expressions and introduces the idea of taking the highest common factor outside of the bracket.
Factorising Letter Outside
Building on the foundation, the second worksheet introduces more complex expressions and challenges students to take out the highest common letter outside of the bracket. It reinforces the importance of checking what is common in both terms.
Factorising Number & Letter Outside
The third worksheet delves into advanced scenarios, requiring students to navigate through expressions involving taking out both numbers and letters. This level promotes a deeper understanding of factorising.
Factorising Mixed 1, 2 & 3
The last 3 worksheets are a mixture of factorising number on the outside, letter on the outside or both. These worksheets help students to consolidate their understanding of factorising single brackets.
Accompanying the 6 practice pyramids are answers to each worksheet. This resource serves as a valuable tool for both self-assessment and facilitator guidance, allowing students to review their work independently or seek assistance when needed.
