Q/ 14 + 13c + 7n
If we were to factorise this algebraic
expression, what steps do we have to do?
A/
Step 1: We have to nd the like terms.
Step 2: Highest Common Factor
Step 3: PEMDAS
(P)arentheses
(E)xponents
(M)ultiplication
(D)ivision
(A)ddition
(S)ubtraction
Q/ What is the simplied expression?
A/ 7n(2 + 1) + 13c

minutes
- T asks Ss to move to their
desks, get Math books and
diaries and stand quietly.
- T greets Ss praise settled
behaviour. Use eye-contact and
names if needed.
- T introduces todays lesson.
- T asks Ss about their previous
lesson, questioning Ss to recall
their algebraic rules and patterns.
e.g: addition two negative
numbers make a positive
number. [ACU9]
- T writes on whiteboard telling
Ss to copy what is written onto
their Math workbooks. Teacher
gives denitions, example
questions on how to simplifying,
expand and factorise algebraic
expressions.
- For example questions, T
chooses random S to help
complete the question.
Whiteboard:
Write denitions, methods and example
questions.
When removing brackets (expanding)
multiply the term outside the brackets by
each term inside the brackets.
RULES:
a(b + c) = (a x b) + (a x c) = ab + ac
a(b - c) = (a x b) - (a x c) = ab - ac
Becareful when multiplying negative terms.
Factorising: This is the reverse process to
expansion. The concept here is to nd the
highest common factor (HCF) of both
terms and to place it outside the brackets.
e.g 1: 30x - 15y = 15(2x - y)
e.g 2: 2abd - 8bd" = 2bd(a - 4d)

- T demonstrates what has been
previously learnt to solve simple
equations.

minutes
- T tells Ss to practice what has
been taught by answering
questions in maths textbook. T
chooses the questions Ss have
to do.
- T goes around and sees if S are
able to explain to her how to
simplify, expand and factorise
algebraic expressions.
