Arguably this is the easier of the two topics but we want to have a good understanding of factorising before we start this lesson.]]> 2025-07-24 11:11:19 UTC https://padlet.com/ucm/u4owq5atan294cfe/wish/3527845414 savannhagunnell1 https://padlet.com/ucm/u4owq5atan294cfe/wish/3527845417 Expanding brackets is the opposite to factorising. Instead of putting an expression in brackets, we are going to take it out, and we do this by expanding the brackets.

To do this, all we need to do is multiply the HCF on the outside of the bracket by each of the terms that are on the inside of the  bracket, including if the value is “1”. 

The importance thing to consider here is the use of indices and knowing our times tables… or being able to correctly use your calculator to do this for you! ]]> 2025-07-24 11:11:19 UTC https://padlet.com/ucm/u4owq5atan294cfe/wish/3527845417 savannhagunnell1 https://padlet.com/ucm/u4owq5atan294cfe/wish/3527845422 2025-07-24 11:11:19 UTC https://padlet.com/ucm/u4owq5atan294cfe/wish/3527845422 savannhagunnell1 https://padlet.com/ucm/u4owq5atan294cfe/wish/3527845423 2025-07-24 11:11:19 UTC https://padlet.com/ucm/u4owq5atan294cfe/wish/3527845423 savannhagunnell1 https://padlet.com/ucm/u4owq5atan294cfe/wish/3527845426 2025-07-24 11:11:19 UTC https://padlet.com/ucm/u4owq5atan294cfe/wish/3527845426 savannhagunnell1 https://padlet.com/ucm/u4owq5atan294cfe/wish/3527845428 2025-07-24 11:11:19 UTC https://padlet.com/ucm/u4owq5atan294cfe/wish/3527845428 savannhagunnell1 https://padlet.com/ucm/u4owq5atan294cfe/wish/3587390466 2025-09-16 10:12:45 UTC https://padlet.com/ucm/u4owq5atan294cfe/wish/3587390466
