Students explore the concept of transformations.  For this transformation lesson, students use an applet that is an interactive absolute value graph applet.  Students manipulate the applet to examine the change in the function...

Pupils identify and interpret how absolute value affects linear functions. They also graph linear functions and reflect them in a line of symmetry. Finally, students evaluate the absolute value of a constant using technology to...

In this semester review worksheet, students simplify given expressions. They translate word sentences into algebraic expressions, solve equations through substitution, and find the value of a variable in a given equation. This worksheet...

Finding the critical numbers of a function can be extreme. The lesson introduces the Extreme Value Theorem to the class with a graph. Pupils then have an opportunity to practice determining the values using an algebraic function.

Read a series of word problems and have your class identify the process to solve them. They practice identifying, comparing, and ordering integers. They focus on recognizing opposites and the absolute value of number. An assessment...

Challenge your students' algebra skills with this activity, which presents students with several types of problem sets, including solving inequalities, graphing, word problems, and a set of algebra problems that may or may not require...

Solve a real-life problem using function-building skills. Presented with an open-ended question, scholars complete a checklist to create and justify a solution in an interesting algebra project. The checklist asks for justifications of...

In this integers and absolute value worksheet, 6th graders solve and complete 24 problems. First, they write an integer for each situation described. Then, students evaluate each expression. They also graph each set of integers on a...

Overall, this worksheet contains a good selection of problems that reviews different aspects of linear equations. Learners examine and graph linear equations, absolute value equations, and inequalities in two variables. The three page...

Learners solve word problems using number sense. They convert fractions to decimals and mixed numbers. Pupils determine if a given fraction is greater or less than another fraction, and order numbers on a number line.

A neat and organized formula handout makes the circle go round, doesn't it? Full of higher algebra topics, formulas and rules, graphs and definitions—there is a way to support everyone in Algebra II or Pre-Calculus. 

In this function families activity, students graph 6 families of absolute value equations on a graphing calculator and transfer a sketch to graph paper. Students then answer 8 questions to identify the vertex.

For this solving inequalities worksheet, 10th graders solve and complete 9 different problems that include defining various inequalities. First, they define compound inequality and describe the difference between an 'and' and an 'or'...

In this radical expressions worksheet, 9th graders solve and complete 28 different problems that include simplifying various expressions. They simplify each expression shown. Students leave each in radical form and use absolute value...

In this inequalities worksheet, students collaborate in groups to solve eight multi-part challenging inequality problems. These problems are not designed to be finishes, but rather as a platform for group discussion regarding how to...

In this algebraic equations worksheet, 9th graders solve 10 different problems that include solving various types of algebraic equations. First, they determine the equation of a line and solve the absolute value of an inequality shown....

In this velocity worksheet, students determine the distance traveled when an object is moving in a straight line. Students graph functions and determine the slope of the line. This two-page worksheet contains six multi-step problems.

In this ratio, rates and percentages worksheet, 8th graders solve 22 various types of problems related to ratios, rates and percentages. They first write ratios in lowest terms and describe each of comparison stated. Students also solve...

Algebra learners look at equivalent expressions in the context of three different operations: division, squaring, and absolute value.  In comparing these values, they will identity when expressions are equivalent. 

Here is an extensive set of teacher's notes to help you teach all about integers. Begin by introducing a number line and how it can be used to visualize positive and negative numbers. Talk about absolute value and the additive inverse...

Prealgebrarians use colored chips, stickers, and pencils to explore the world of integers. They discover absolute value, compare positive and negative integers, and apply operations to them. A detailed procedure for the three-part...

Four inequality statements are given for the same two negative numbers. The resource is a good practice for pupils to interpret statements of inequalities relative to the position on the number line. The objective is for pupils to...

The second lesson in a series of 25 shows the class how to use arrows and a number line to add integers. Learners apply their knowledge of the commutative property and absolute value in their explanations. Classmates play the integer...

In this complex numbers worksheet, 9th graders solve 10 different problems that include determining the absolute value of each equation. First, they convert the number to the a+bi form. Then, students select the coefficients for a and b....
