This set of resources are part of our Transition to A level Mathematics: Essential Skills series, which focuses on the key skills that will be used across the whole spectrum of AS and A level Mathematics, to support students in the initial transition from GCSE to A level.
This particular set of resources focus on the topic of factorising. We will look at expressions such as those with common factors or quadratics. Before starting AS or A level Mathematics it is essential that you are confident with factorising expressions and recognising when you can factorise. This skill will become very important when we consider solving and sketching.
Each section includes:
- skills check
- a chance to practise and explore
- some extra ideas that you may want to investigate further
These resources should provide about 3 hours of work. If you really get engaged by the enrichment activities, you may want to spend longer than this.
Each resource includes either written worked solutions, video solutions or links to websites.
