Get third graders excited to work find area and perimeter of unit squares, rectangles, and irregular shapes. A 36-page packet comes with task cards, graphic organizers, practice worksheets, printables with squares, exit tickets, and word...

Use the distributive property to solve equations. The sixth lesson in a 33-part series has scholars solve equations that need to be transformed into simpler equations first. Class members apply the distributive property to the equations...

Work your way through factoring polynomials with a worksheet that starts with the GCF and ends with factoring by grouping. Each page provides an example as well as an answer key for each section. 

Sal adds a few more steps to these problems as he solves algebraic equations with two steps - though he states that "there's more than one way to do it." Those who become confused by increasingly complicated algebra problems on a test...

The beginning of a new set of SAT practice problems from The Official SAT Study Guide involves sequences, distribution, combinations, and geometric figures. Sal makes sure to provide thorough explanations to each problem, while...

Some polynomials, when multiplied, result in a special product. Sal uses the distributive property to demonstrate the multiplication process. He then explains why some polynomials cannot be completely simplified.

New ReviewTwelve chapters cover a multitude of math concepts found in the Common Core standards for sixth grade. Each title provides a brief explanation of what you will find inside the chapter—concepts from which you can click on and learn more...

Divide with sums. A video provides an explanation on whether it is possible to divide a sum by a number and a number by a sum by using the distributive property. Scholars see which procedure holds up under the rules of arithmetic and...

How much wood would ...? The quick video uses a linear equation to determine the size of a bookshelf given a diagram of the shelves and the amount of wood to use. Scholars see how to set up the equation and solve it to determine the...

Provide two views of multiplication. The introduction to an area model application has two modes. One mode shows the area of simple multiplication up to 12 by 12. The second mode shows how area models can be partitioned leading to the...

Great minds think alike when using a helpful resource. An educational video first defines like terms and describes how to combine them. Viewers then follow along as the narrator works through several examples of simplifying polynomial...

Hopefully you're done shopping for a resource on algebraic expressions. A two-week unit plan provides instructional suggestions for teaching about expressions. As part of the unit, young mathematicians work through two performance tasks,...

There's got to be a better way. Scholars learn that the distributive property does work with subtraction and not just addition. Using that fact, the video shows how to find the product of two numbers by rewriting a complicated number as...

When US citizens travel throughout the world, they often need to know how to convert temperatures from Fahrenheit to Celsius. Young mathematicians practice applying the formula as well as other algebraic equations as part of a...

Pupils may be able to simplify expressions, but do they understand how to simplify an expression? A PowerPoint presentation gives several examples of Smarter Balanced Assessment items that test learners' understanding of the concept....

Expand and contract algebra. Using a video from a larger review series, pupils refresh their skills to factor algebraic expressions. They also use the distributive property to expand expressions on the learning exercise. Problems range...

Can learners determine solutions associated with lines? A slide presentation contains sample items for the Smarter Balanced 8th grade math Target D covering solving linear equations and systems of linear equations. Items illustrate the...

To simplify or not to simplify, what should scholars do? Using several examples, the video works through the process of simplifying algebraic expressions. The resource restricts simplification to using the distributive property and to...

Where would the math world be without the distributive property? Young scholars learn to apply the distributive property as they view a video tutorial. The instructor begins with an explanation of the property and then completes several...

Merge two important algebraic skills to simplify polynomial expressions. A thorough video lesson describes the process of distributing and combining like terms to simplify an expression. Examples show how to distribute one or two...

Use algebraic properties guide to pupils in the right direction. A simple video lesson shows two examples where the instructor distributes a monomial to a binomial or trinomial. The resulting expressions are either linear or quadratic.

The process of distributing is pretty much like it sounds. A video tutorial demonstrates distributing a constant to a binomial with multiplication. Learners observe as the instructor completes four examples with both positive and...
