Multiplying and Dividing Terms Mastery
An interactive lesson on screen. Your child works through worked examples, practises on their own, then tests themselves with questions that get harder as they go.
About this lesson
By the end of this lesson your child can simplify any multiplying or dividing terms question, numbers and letters, powers, coefficients, or a mix of all three, and know instantly which rule to apply.
Topics covered:
- Multiplying numbers and letters, for example 5 × 2c
- Multiplying powers of the same base, for example n² × n³
- Multiplying terms with coefficients and powers, for example 4r × 3r
- Dividing simple terms, for example 12c ÷ 4
- Dividing powers of the same base, for example n² ÷ n⁵
- Dividing terms with coefficients and powers, for example -20q⁴ ÷ -4q²
- Multiplying and dividing combined in the same question
Your child works through this lesson on any screen. They click to reveal each step of a worked example, try the practice questions on paper, then click to check their own answer.
How it's structured:
- Each unit opens with a worked example your child clicks through line by line, plus a live Explore tool for two of the units, then 10 practice questions colour-coded easy, medium and hard
- 90 questions in total, each with a click-to-reveal answer and a reveal-all option
- A final 20-question mixed challenge pulling from all 7 units, the way these questions actually show up on an exam paper
Negative and fractional powers trip most students up because worksheets rarely go near them. This lesson does. Unit 2 and Unit 5 cover negative indices, and the powers builder in Unit 2's Explore tool lets your child test any combination of powers themselves and watch the rule play out before they need to write it down.
Use this if:
- Your child is in Year 4 to Year 11 and is starting algebra or needs to shore up the index laws
- You're preparing for the 11+, where simplifying terms comes up in the algebra section
- Your child is doing GCSE Foundation or Higher and loses marks on index laws under exam pressure
- You want a resource your child can check their own work with, not one more thing on your to-do list

FAQs
How do I access the lesson?
You'll get an email with your lesson link as soon as payment goes through. Click it to open the lesson in any browser, no login and no app to install.
How does the marking work?
There's no typing answers into a box. Your child works it out on paper, then clicks to reveal the correct answer and checks their own work. Full working is shown too, not just the final answer, so mistakes are easy to spot.
Does it work on a phone or tablet?
It works best on a tablet or laptop, where there's more room to read the examples and questions. It'll open on a phone too, but the text and diagrams can feel quite small on a smaller screen.
Can I use the lesson more than once?
Yes. There's no limit on how many times you open the link, so it's there for revision right up to the exam.
