4) Factorising Into A Double Bracket

The document provides examples of factorizing algebraic expressions into a double bracket form. It contains 3 sections - the first section has students factorize expressions taking out the common factor, the second has them factorize without a common factor, and the third proves factorizations for area and other word problems. The document also provides answers to the examples and super challenge questions at the end.
