Create a linear equation for a problem when the intercept information is not given. The two-day lesson introduces the class to the point-slope form, which can be used for problems when the initial conditions are not provided. Pupils...

Middle schoolers engage in a study of equations and how they are solved using algebraic methods. This overrides the fact of guessing as done in earlier grades. They cover the concept of inverse operations as the main way to manipulate...

This worksheet offers six problems to practice solving simultaneous equations using the method of elimination. Start with systems that require multiplying only one of the equations. Then move to systems which require multiplying both...

Practice solving linear systems of three equations with three unknowns using the elimination method and substitution method. This handout includes graphics of different combinations of intersecting planes to help illustrate the different...

Use this worksheet for practice or review solving linear equations in one variable. Problems range from multiple-step problems involving parentheses and combining like terms, to word problems, to equations with no solution or infinitely...

Ninth graders explore the process of solving one-step equations.  In this Algebra I lesson plan, 9th graders solve one-step equations involving multiplication and division.  The lesson plan includes translation of verbal...

An 80-page resource provides four lessons and all associated worksheets to teach middle schoolers about expressions and equations. The lessons are hands-on, using games, "integer chips," a balance and cubes, and cut and paste activities....

Pupils learn to solve square root equations and rationalize denominators. Problems include those with extraneous solutions. 

A jam-packed worksheet has all the topics you would teach in an Algebra II class with a variety of question styles. Starting with function notation and ending with geometric sequences, there really is something for everyone. Each...

Inquiry-based learning and investigations form the basis of a deep understanding of quadratic functions in a very thorough unit plan.  Learners develop recursive and closed methods for representing real-life situations,...

Math is all about finding patterns. In this ask, scholars first investigate a sequence formed by squaring the sum of the digits in the previous term. They go on to investigate a second sequence and write an algebraic expression for this...

In this solving equations practice activity, students sharpen their problems solving skills as they solve 24 single step equations.

In this solving equations worksheet, students practice their math skills as they solve 24 single step equations that require them to solve for x.

Students rewrite word problems using the correct symbols. In this algebra lesson, students simplify algebraic expressions and use the correct representation of the unknown. They solve equations using one and two steps operation.

Students discuss the meaning of balance and how it applies to equations. After listening to a lecture, they practice solving equations with two orders of operation and doing whatever they do on one side to the other side as a class. To...

In this algebraic fractions worksheet, students solve and complete 20 different problems that include solving equations that contain algebraic fractions. First, they determine the common denominator in each and use the product of all the...

Learners solve literal equations.  In this Algebra I/Algebra II instructional activity, learners view a PowerPoint presentation about solving literal equations.  Learners have the opportunity to complete an interactive...

Examine multiple ways to solve algebraic equations. Pupils will generate a problem solving strategy that addresses the prompt given by the teacher. They will then share their problem solving strategy with the class. Graphic organizers,...

Students explore algebraic concepts using real life situations.  In this equations lesson, students develop strategies to solve missing number problems. Students participate in a board game based on algebraic equations.

In this inequalities instructional activity, students solve inequalities.  They graph solutions on  a number line.  Students solve problems by combining like terms, and using the distributive property.  Variables...

Maximizing resources is essential to productivity. Class members complete an activity to show how math can help in the process. Using a piece of construction paper, learners construct a box with the maximum volume. Ultimately, they...

Young mathematicians extend their knowledge of rational numbers on a number line to graph inequalities by first using number cards to compare rational numbers. They finish by using similar reasoning to graph inequalities on a number line.

Collaboration is the key for this equation-solving lesson. Learners solve a multi-step linear equation that requires using the distributive property. Within collaborative groups, scholars discuss multiple methods and troubleshoot mistakes.
