With algebra tiles in hand 7th graders will uncover the wonders of the distributive property of multiplication. They will take a pre-test, define the distributive property, then model and practice using their tiles to solve basic...

Young scholars examine the patterns in Pascal's Triangle. In this recognizing lesson, students view a model of Pascal's Triangle and describe the patterns of the multiples. Young scholars identify the shapes that are made within Pascal's...

Students model formulas for rectangles and squares. In this area, arithmetic and algebra lesson, students explore the formula for the area of squares and rectangles. They use squares to model the formula for the area and identify...

Students factor quadratic equations. In this algebra lesson, students apply the binomial square theorem to solve quadratics. They complete the square and use the complex number system to solve for the roots.

Factor in different strategies in a instructional activity for factoring quadratics. Young mathematicians first create tables and area models to factor quadratic trinomials into two binomials by guess and check. Learners then investigate...

What makes this resource special? The amazing answer key that comes with worked out solutions and notes for each problem. Practice problems include all topics ranging from linear systems to simplifying exponential expressions. The...

Students draw comparisons between organisms. They classify organisms. Students are introduced to dichotomous keys and how to create and use a dichotomous key to identify a variety of objects. They begin by defining classification, and...

In this algebra worksheet, students calculate the distribution of various monomials and binomials. Some of the variables include the Greek alphabet. There are 10 questions.

Young scholars use algebra tiles to identify the binomial factors and the graphing calculator to verify the result. In addition, they will identify the x-intercepts and y-intercepts of each trinomial function and explore relationships...

Uncover the relationship between factoring quadratics and higher degree polynomials. Learners develop their factoring skills through repetition. A comprehensive lesson plan begins with quadratics and shows how to use the same patterns to...

Patterns, patterns, everywhere! Young scholars examine the multiplication table to identify patterns. Their exploration leads to an understanding of the difference of squares and sum of cubes by the completion of the algebra project.

Explore the concept of this perfect square trinomial and difference of squares instructional activity. A hands-on activity that uses paper rectangles and squares to illustrate the perfect-square trinomial and difference of squares formulas.

Students factor trinomials using algebra tiles and blocks. In this algebra instructional activity, students complete a trinomials station activity. They work backwords to find their answers and discuss their steps in a group.

Middle schoolers become familiar with patterns, the Fibonacci Sequence, and the Golden Ratio. They see how many places these occur. They have practical applications for using the calculator and making charts to extend patterns.

Students complete problems on normal distribution equations. In this algebra lesson plan, students complete 11 problems out of their text book.
