There's only one way to multiply, right? Not when it comes to polynomials. Reach each individual by incorporating various representations to multiplying polynomials. This lesson approaches multiplying polynomials from all angles. Build...

You'd feel bad if someone called you by the wrong name — and equations are no different. Young mathematicians learn the vocabulary associated with equations and expressions identifying these components in sample equations.

After completing an assessment task where they express numbers as the difference of squares (i.e., 9 = 5^2 – 4^2), class members note any patterns that they see in the problems.

Write a math story for a series of problems using given variables. The class writes stories, showing understanding of strategies in compound sentences. They then solve the equations.

Students examine linear equations. In this functions and algebra lesson, students write equations in the slope-intercept form. They enter data in a graphing calculator, examine tables, and write linear equations to match the data.

In this Algebra I worksheet, 9th graders factor algebraic expressions completely.  The one page worksheet contains ten problems.  Answers are provided. 

In this logarithm worksheet, students solve 10 multiple choice and short answer problems.  Students simplify logarithmic expressions and expand single logarithms using logarithm properties.

In this logarithms worksheet, students determine if 11 statements are always, sometimes, or never true. Students determine if expressions are always, sometimes, or never true using logarithm properties.

Students investigate the order of operation in algebraic equations. In this order of operations activity, students discover the proper order for solving single variable equations.

How to use the relationship between multiplication and division to solve math word problems is the focus of the lesson presented here. In it, fourth graders work in groups to solve problems posed by the teacher. Then, each group is given...

Students examine numbers and try to find a pattern in their relationship. They write an algebraic expression for the nth term.

In this inequalities worksheet, learners solve inequalities and identify the solution set. There are 30 problems on this two-page worksheet.

In this inequality worksheet, students collect like terms and then solve inequalities. They list the solution set. Thirty problems are available on this two-page worksheet.

In this make a table worksheet, students read real world questions and write an equation to match the equation. Next, they solve the equation.   This one-page worksheet contains two problems.

Looking for an alternative approach to long division? Show your classes how to use factoring in place of long division. Increase their fluency with factoring at the same time!

Assume all you know is that the variable Q represents a value that is bigger than the value represented by the variable P. Which is larger P + Q or 2P? The problems in this activity get more complex than...

What does completing the square have to do with circles? Math pupils use completing the square and other algebraic techniques to rewrite equations of circles in center-radius form. They then analyze equations of the form x^2 + y^2 + Ax +...

Build on your class' understanding of real numbers as they begin working with complex numbers. Pupils begin with an exploration of i and the patterns in the powers of i. After developing a definition for i, they simplify complex number...

After examining expressions in the first six lessons of the series, learners are now ready to apply those concepts to create equations in the seventh installment of 28. Each exercise contains a conceptual situation that helps build an...

Increase the percent of pupils that are fluent in solving change problems with an activity that asks class members to look at problems that involve either increases or decreases and to express the change in terms of the percent of...
