This site provides a lesson, practice exercises, and teacher resources for teaching order of operations and evaluating expressions.

This task asks students to find equivalent expressions by visualizing a familiar activity involving distance. The given solution shows some possible equivalent expressions, but there are many variations possible. Aligns with 6.EE.A.2.

This personal site explains how variables began and who were the first to use them.

Try this hands-on approach to solving algebra problems with this interactive website. Students are able to "solve equations, substitute in variable expressions, expand, and factor".

This task provides a good opportunity for group work and class discussions where students generate and compare equivalent expressions. In class discussion, students should be asked to connect the terms of an expression with quantities...

Using this tutorial, you'll learn how to solve a formula for a variable and how to solve word problems involving formulas.

This problem can be solved using simple arithmetical reasoning but is also naturally represented by a simple equation. Thus, it provides a good entry point for learners into representing quantities in contexts with variables and...
