Give your classes practice at modeling using quadratic models with a resource that uses area and integer problems to allow individuals to create second degree polynomials. Young mathematicians solve equations using factoring and then...

This two page worksheet contains 32 problems to solve. There are examples given for each set of problems. The first set is to work on adding or subtracting a term to get the variable by itself. The second set is about dividing both sides...

Just when a young mathematician starts to feel comfortable turning word problems into linear equations, shake things up and throw inequalities in the mix. This excellent, instructive presentation takes the steps for solving an...

Compare two different proportional relationships on a graph. It is up to your mathematicians to determine which of two moving objects have greater speed. A good example of a Common Core multiple choice question. 

Everything you could possibly want to know about quadratic equations, all in one resource. Instructors demonstrate how to translate between different forms of quadratics (equation, table of values, graph, verbal description) and finding...

Start with the basics. Pupils work through a review of the unit on equations and inequalities. Learners begin with solving equations and inequalities with no context, move on to problems that involve a context, and finish with a...

Word problems offer class members an opportunity to learn the concept of solving linear systems using graphs. Individuals choose a problem based upon preferences, break into groups to discuss solution methods and whether there...

Max out heart rates for males and females. Formulas of maximum heart rates provide the equations for a linear system. Pupils use the interactive to graph the equations for males and females and determine their points of intersection. The...

Let the class stars shine. Using four given linear equations, scholars create a graph of a star. The pupils use the interactive to graph the linear systems and determine the points of intersection. Through the activity, classmates...

Interactive bar models make solving equations fairly easy. Scholars use an interactive to adjust a bar model representing an equation. This model helps solve the equation.

Don't tire of solving equations, mix up your lesson! A virtual interactive has users drag paper tires to toy cars. Solving a one-step equation lets them find how many cars can be made from a given number of tires.

More practice makes perfect. A review packet helps pupils remind themselves of the content of the unit. They determine whether points are solutions to linear equations, graph systems of equations and inequalities, and solve systems of...

Variables may be unknown, but expressions and equations are easy to understand. Pupils learn to write, evaluate, and simplify numeric and algebraic expressions. They also investigate how to write and solve simple equations and...

Eighth graders work in pairs with a TI-73 graphing calculator to complete a multiple-choice review using the Classroom Performance System. Each team uses a remote unit to "click in" the answers. When all teams have completed the review,...

Express your love of equations! Pupils first learn to write and simplify numerical and algebraic expressions. Then, create and solve two-step equations. The progression is a great way to introduce the concept slowly.

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...

Learners build connections between algebra and geometry as they study equation solving. The ninth instructional activity in the series of 28 asks pupils to write equations using angle relationships. After writing equations to model...

Same slope, different point — what's the same and what's different about an equation? Young mathematicians use an interactive to position a line parallel to a given line and through a given point. They observe that the equation will have...

Making money is important to teenagers. It is up to your apprentices to determine how much two wage earners make with their after school jobs. Participants work with a table, an equation, and a graph and compare the two workers to see...

Continuing from the previous lesson in the 28-part series, learners write equations to model problem situations. They then solve the problem by applying the properties of equality. In contrast to the previous lesson, they do not write...

Get two answers from a single equation. Pupils use the interactive to take the square root of nine and see the graphical representation of the two solutions. Individuals realize that solutions to quadratic equations that are solved by...

Solving equations is a piece of cake. Young mathematicians use an interactive to create a bar model to representing a situation involving cupcakes. They use the model to solve for the cost of a cupcake.

Ride to success in checking solutions to equations. Scholars use an interactive graph to identify points that are solutions to a linear equation. Interpreting these points in terms of the context completes the activity.

There might be an extra solution. Pupils discover that the process of solving a radical equation is the same general process of solving any equation. They find out that in some instances, an extraneous solution occurs. Individuals then...
