A graph not only tells us who won the bike race, but also what happened during the race. Use this resource to help learners understand graphs. The commentary suggests waiting until the end of the year to introduce this topic, but why...

Use this graphing worksheet to have learners evaluate and graph linear equations. A coordinate plane, for graphing, is provided below each equation. This one-page worksheet contains seven problems.

Young scholars use candy bars, beef jerky, and brownies to represent different fractions. Students also use colored multi-link cubes or blocks to illustrate the same representations of fractions. Young scholars work with a partner to...

This is a 10-problem worksheet on simplifying rational expressions. Most of the problems require factoring. It is assumed that the domain of variables do not include values for which any denominator is zero. Answers are included.

Ninth graders investigate multiplication of binomials and factoring of trinomials.  In this Algebra I lesson, 9th graders compare and contrast expansion and factoring using algebra tiles and a TI-89.

Students use algebra tiles to solve linear equations with integer solutions. In this algebra lesson plan, students use the additive inverse and the zero pair concept.

Students investigate linear equations through models. In this algebra lesson, students investigate solving one and two step equations. Review solving a basic equation before starting this assignment.

Twelfth graders identify the parts of an algebraic equation. They consider the many uses of algebra in daily life. They play a game, Algebra Match, where student pairs work to solve equations listed on index cards.

Sixth graders work through a two-step equation with their teacher. After reviewing one-step equations, they complete a worksheet using tiles and colored pencils to complete two-step equations. To end the instructional activity, they...

Sixth graders evaluate algebraic expressions. In this introduction to algebra lesson plan, 6th graders use manipulatives (algebra tiles) to solve problems involving one and two variables. Students apply this knowledge to real life...

Students simplify equations and expressions. In this algebra instructional activity, students add, subtract, multiply and divide as they solve expressions. They relate factoring to solving polynomials.

In this algebra worksheet, learners complete a variety of basic algebra problems. They compare integers, identify sets of numbers, simplify equations, translate words into numerical expressions, and identify properties. This worksheet...

Students use concrete models (algebra blocks) to demonstrate their processes for solving quadratic equations. They apply the commutative, associative, and distributive properties to simplify algebraic expressions and to solve quadratic...

Students solve systems of equations algebraically. In this algebra lesson, students solve systems using substitution and elimination. They solve linear and quadratic systems.

Middle schoolers discuss how to add simple Algebra problems such as: 2x + 2x = 4x or 3x + 3x + 6x = 12x or 3(2x + 4x) = 3(6x) = 18x. They then examine how to do these problems by writing down examples on the board before Students do...

Students perform basic matrices operations. In this algebra lesson, students add, subtract, multiply and divide matrices. They solve system of equations using matrices.

In this algebra worksheet, students evaluate algebraic expressions, simplify exponents, write numbers in scientific notation, perform division of equations, and find the area of given problems. This worksheet contains 75 problems and an...

In this math worksheet, students simplify the algebraic expressions using the order of operations. They pay special attention to the negative signs next to the outside of the parenthesis.

Students apply higher level thinking skills to determine rules for sorting and classification. In this pre-algebra lesson, students nominate classmates who they think satisfy the unspoken "rule" established by the leader. As students are...

In this algebra worksheet, young scholars perform a variety of operations. They factor polynomials, solve algebraic equations, identify the GCF, and solve real life word problems. Twelve of these 100 problems are real life word problems.

In this algebra worksheet, pupils solve a variety of problems. They find the greatest common factor of polynomials, factor polynomials and trinomials, and solve algebraic equations and real life story problems. Nine of the hundred...

Eighth graders participate in using algebraic proportional reasoning to find the missing amount that balances on a scale. Substitution is used to discover the missing objects on a scale. They answer multiple choice questions that are...

Students compare the language of algebra to a foreign language. They play the game "Pictionary" to emphasize that pictures can represent words. After writing definitions and discussing the meaning of variable expressions, students, in...
