This is a brilliant dominoes activity for use at A-level when studying factorising quadratics, the questions are particularly difficult since 'a' is a negative number in each case. This would make an ideal starter activity when studying solving quadratics, plotting quadratics, writing in completed square form and lots more. You could use this if you have a gifted class at GCSE. Thank you for sharing.
