Year 11
Algebra

Scope of the Topic

In the new curriculum there is no separation of Algebra and Graphing from the other topics, whereas most of these materials date from before that change.

There are a number of videos on the Video Page. They cover most of the topic, except for a few items at Excellence.
 

Core Skills

The "Basic" sheets are far too easy for Year 11, but are left in for practice at the start of the topic. Year 11 students should be able to do the "Harder" ones by the end.

Simplifying

Basic 1     Basic 2     Basic 3

Multiplying, dividing, adding and subtracting terms

Routine 1     Routine 2     Routine 3

More complex division, powers and brackets

Harder 1     Harder 2     Harder 3

Square roots and multiple brackets

Expanding

Basic 1     Basic 2     Basic 3

Expanding one set of brackets

Routine 1     Routine 2     Routine 3

Expanding two brackets and quadratics

Harder 1     Harder 2     Harder 3

Expanding with complex terms and quadratics

Factorising

Basic 1     Basic 2     Basic 3

One factor

Routine 1     Routine 2     Routine 3

Multiple factors and simple quadratics

Harder 1     Harder 2     Harder 3

Mixed types, including quadratics with negative roots

Solving

Basic 1     Basic 2     Basic 3

Multi-step linear problems

Routine 1     Routine 2     Routine 3

Inequations and quadratics

Harder 1     Harder 2     Harder 3

Fractions, harder quadratics etc

Writing (and Solving) Equations

Routine 1     Routine 2     Routine 3

Straight-forward, mostly linear, equations

Harder 1     Harder 2     Harder 3

Harder equations, including quadratics and simultaneous

Exponents

All levels 1     All levels 2     All levels 3

Equations involving powers, from Achieved through to Excellence

Merit+ 1     Merit+ 2     Merit+ 3

Simplifying and solving with exponents.

Mixed Skills Practice

Algebra 1     Algebra 2     Algebra 3

Algebra 4     Algebra 5     Algebra 6    

These are designed to take an hour each (to match the old MCAT exams) and are towards the harder end at each grade level.
