Teaching tips & learning objectives
Learning objectives
Simplify polynomial sums, differences and products by distributing and combining like terms.

Teaching tips
Ask students to show their working before looking at the answer bank, so a correct match reflects their method rather than elimination.
For Set C, have students identify the first step that would produce the proposed error and explain how to correct it.
