Lesson 1

Expanding Binomial Products

Expand single and double brackets using the distributive law and FOIL, and collect like terms.

Lesson 2

Factorising Algebraic Expressions

Identify the highest common factor and use it to factorise two- and three-term algebraic expressions.

Lesson 3

Algebraic Fractions

Simplify algebraic fractions by cancelling common factors, state restrictions, and multiply or divide simple algebraic fractions.

Lesson 4

Algebraic Fractions: Add and Subtract

Add and subtract algebraic fractions with unlike denominators by finding the LCM and rewriting each fraction.

Lesson 5

Factorising Quadratic Trinomials

Factorise monic quadratic trinomials of the form x² + bx + c using the product-sum method.

Lesson 6

Non-Monic Quadratic Factorising

Factorise non-monic quadratic trinomials of the form ax² + bx + c (a ≠ 1) using the AC method.

Lesson 7

Difference of Two Squares

Recognise expressions of the form a² − b² and apply the difference of two squares identity to factorise them.

Lesson 8

5F Completing the Square (Factorising)

Rewrite a quadratic x^2 + bx + c in completed-square form by halving the coefficient of x.

Lesson 9

Solving Quadratics by Factorising

Solve quadratic equations by factorising and applying the null factor law.

Lesson 10

5H Quadratic Problems

Form and solve quadratic equations from worded problems by factorising.

Lesson 11

5I Solving by Completing the Square

Solve quadratic equations by completing the square and square-rooting both sides.

Lesson 12

The Quadratic Formula

Use the quadratic formula to solve quadratic equations and interpret the discriminant.
