Factorising Algebraic Expressions

By the end of this unit, students will be able to:

1. understand the concept of factorization and its significance in simplifying algebraic expressions;
2. factorize algebraic expressions by identifying common factors, difference of squares, and other techniques;
3. apply their knowledge to solve problems involving factorization.

Curriculum Alignment: Key Stage 3: Algebra

• simplify and manipulate algebraic expressions to maintain equivalence by:
  • collecting like terms
  • multiplying a single term over a bracket
  • taking out common factors
  • expanding products of 2 or more binomials
