3. To be able to factorise we must ask
1. What’s common amongst the terms?
Put what’s common outside the brackets
2. What’s left after taking out the common?
We put what’s left inside the brackets
Let’s look at an example!

4. Factorised answer: 5a(2a + 3)
How can we write 10a2 as a product of factors?
10a2 = 2 x 5 x a x a
How can we write 15a as a product of factors?
15a = 3 x 5 x a
What’s common? 5a
What’s left?
2a + 3
Factorised answer: 5a(2a + 3)

5. Factorised answer: 6b(3b - 2)
How can we write 18b2 as a product of factors?
18b2 = 2 x 3 x 3 x b x b
How can we write 12b as a product of factors?
12b = 2 x 3 x 2 x b
What’s common? 6b
What’s left?
3b - 2
Factorised answer: 6b(3b - 2)

6. Factorised answer: 7ab(3b – 4a)
How can we write 21ab2 as a product of factors?
21ab2 = 7 x 3 x a x b x b
How can we write 28a2b as a product of factors?
28a2b = 2 x 2 x 7 x a x a x b
What’s common?
7ab
What’s left?
3b – 4a
Factorised answer: 7ab(3b – 4a)

18. Making Questions You will do this in pairs
Without the other person seeing write two expressions to expand
Still without them seeing expand and simplify those brackets
Swap books and write the expanded expressions down in their books
They must factorise the expressions you wrote
Swap, Mark and Discuss
