Why take this course?
This course is tailored specifically for parents and guardians of GCSE Maths students who want to actively support their childβs progress in algebra, focusing on the essential skill of expanding single, double, and triple brackets. As your child prepares for their GCSE Maths exams, algebra plays a pivotal role, and mastering bracket expansion is key to solving more advanced problems such as quadratics and cubic equations.
Through this course, you will gain a thorough understanding of how to expand brackets step by step, using the methods and techniques your child is learning at school. We will cover the following:
- Expanding single brackets like 3(x+2), breaking down how to multiply each term correctly.
- Expanding double brackets such as (x+4)(xβ2), helping you to guide your child through more complex, multi-term expressions.
- Expanding triple brackets, such as (x+1)(xβ3)(x+5), where we combine all skills to work through larger expressions.
Additionally, weβll highlight common pitfalls and errors students make, giving you the tools to support your child in avoiding these mistakes.
The course will also provide practice exercises to reinforce learning and ensure that both you and your child are confident in applying these methods. Whether you are revisiting maths after some time or simply looking to assist your child with homework, this course will empower you to make a meaningful contribution to their success in GCSE Maths.
