I think they're a lot of fun.
(Diagrams taken from a textbook. I can't remember which.)

This is absolutely on the money, anyone wringing their hands about the teacher retention situation should be given this to carefully read and reflect on.
In #MathsToday (well last few lessons) Year 9 have been looking at expanding and factorising quadratics using grids and by splitting brackets. Made a few Fill in the Blanks activities for them, which can be found at www.draustinmaths.com/algebra

I've made a worksheet of it now with answersπ
