NC information
A1 use and interpret algebraic manipulation, including:
- ab in place of a × b
- 3y in place of y+y+y and 3×y
- a2 in place of a×a, a3 in place of a×a×a, a2b in place of a×a×b
- a/b in place of a÷b
- coefficients written as fractions rather than as decimals
- brackets
A4 simplify and manipulate algebraic expressions (including those involving surds and algebraic fractions) by:
- collecting like terms
- multiplying a single term over a bracket
- taking out common factors
- expanding products of two or more binomials
- factorising quadratic expressions of the form x2 + bx + c, including the difference of two squares;
- factorising quadratic expressions of the form ax2 +bx+c
- simplifying expressions involving sums, products and powers, including the laws of indices
