Lessons by Ms Chu

Ms Chu teaches factorisation and quadratic cross-method work. She emphasises complete factorisation and linking every factor pair back to expansion.

1Identities and algebraic expansionUse standard identities to expand quickly and to recognise structure in reverse for factorisation.Algebraic Manipulation· Ms ChuMCQ2Factorisation: common factors and groupingTake out the highest common factor and factor by grouping before attempting harder patterns.Algebraic Manipulation· Ms ChuMCQ3Factorising difference of squaresRecognise a² − b² instantly and factor as (a − b)(a + b), including with coefficients.Algebraic Manipulation· Ms ChuMCQ4Factorisation by grouping and common binomialsFactor expressions such as 5(x+y) − a(x+y) and four-term groupings.Algebraic Manipulation· Ms ChuMCQ5Adding and multiplying polynomialsAdd, subtract and multiply polynomials, then arrange in descending powers of x.Algebraic Manipulation· Ms ChuMCQ6Challenge: indices + factorisation comboHarder multi-step items linking index laws with expansion and factorisation.Exam & Challenge· Ms ChuMCQ7Rounding to decimal placesRound to 1, 2 or 3 decimal places using the next-digit rule.Numbers & Estimation· Ms ChuMCQ8Estimating square roots without a calculatorSandwich a root between consecutive squares to estimate its size.Numbers & Estimation· Ms ChuMCQ9Profit, loss and markup percentageLink cost, selling price and marked price with clear bases.Percentage, Rate & Ratio· Ms ChuMCQ10Map scales as ratiosConvert between map distance and real distance using 1:n scales.Percentage, Rate & Ratio· Ms ChuMCQ11Expanding two brackets with FOILProduce four products then collect like terms reliably.Algebraic Manipulation· Ms ChuMCQ12Zero and negative indices drillEvaluate and rewrite expressions that include a⁰ and a^{−n}.Algebraic Manipulation· Ms ChuMCQ13Linear equations with fractionsClear denominators by multiplying through by the LCM.Equations & Inequalities· Ms ChuMCQ14Showing inequality solutions on a number lineUse open and closed circles correctly for <, >, ≤ and ≥.Equations & Inequalities· Ms ChuMCQ15Exam mix: indices and expansionSimplify indices then expand or classify identity steps.Exam & Challenge· Ms ChuMCQ16Challenge: multi-step percentage reasoningReverse percentages chained with successive changes.Exam & Challenge· Ms ChuMCQ
