Expanding Single Brackets

The below QQI BINGO © gives your class a selection of answers to fill in their bingo grids. Once they have filled their grids, you reveal one question at a time, and students cross off the answers if they have them. The first to get a line or a full house calls "BINGO" and wins.
Then choose the attributes for the questions that will appear.
Choose which type of brackets you would like to practice, or choose random for a mixture of the different difficulties.
Decide if you only want a single bracket to expand, or two brackets with the resulting expression needing to be simplified.
Finally, choose if you want to include negatives in your brackets.
After the students have answered the question, you can reveal the answer.

Ideas for Teachers
This is a classic bingo activity, where students choose the answers to fill in their grid (either 3 by 3 or 4 by 4). Then questions are shown one at a time and if a student has the answer in their grid they cross it off. The winner is the first to cross off all their answers and call BINGO. Students love this game, and can be used to start or end a lesson.
