Teacher Resources Available for Factorisation

Our teacher resources offer a thorough introduction to factorisation for younger students in Years 7 and 8. Lesson plans guide teachers through the foundational concepts of breaking down algebraic expressions into their factors, starting with the factorisation of simple monomials and binomials. Interactive activities and guided practice questions help students build confidence in identifying common factors and using distributive properties to simplify expressions. Assessments provide teachers with the tools to evaluate student understanding, ensuring that learners are ready to progress to more complex topics.

For older students, our resources focus on more advanced methods of factorisation, such as factoring quadratic expressions, difference of squares, and trinomials. Lesson plans provide teachers with step-by-step instructions on how to guide students through factoring complex polynomials and recognising special factorisation patterns. Students will engage with problem-solving exercises that challenge them to apply these techniques in algebraic manipulations. The included assessments are designed to test student mastery of advanced factorisation methods, ensuring they can confidently approach a range of algebraic expressions.

These resources connect factorisation to real-world applications, helping students see the practical importance of the topic in fields such as engineering, physics, and economics. Lesson plans include examples where factorisation is used to simplify equations and solve problems in optimisation and design. Students will work through questions that require them to apply their factorisation skills in meaningful contexts, and the assessments provided challenge them to think critically about how factorisation can be used to solve practical problems in various industries.
