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.

Help pupils to determine whether using square roots is the method of choice when solving quadratic equations by presenting a lesson that begins with a dropped object example and asks for a solution. This introduction to solving by...

In this algebraic equation worksheet, students solve simple algebraic equations containing integers and fractions. They solve for the unknown. This four-page worksheet contains 20 multi-step problems.

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.

They appear to be different, yet they are the same line. Part 24 out of 33 lessons provides a theorem about the relationships of coefficients of equivalent linear equations. Pupils use the theorem to determine whether two equations are...

In this Algebra I worksheet, 9th graders solve multi-step one variable equations where the first step is indicated.  The three page worksheet contains twenty-four problems.  Answers are not included. 

How do you solve linear equations? Learn how to solve simple linear equations by applying properties of equality in this instructional slideshow. The materials include step-by-step instructions and key concepts to support understanding.

Sharpen your problem solving skills with this story problem worksheet. There are six multiplication and division problems given. 

In this solving inequalities worksheet, students solve 12 inequalities using addition and subtraction. Several inequalities involve having variables on both sides.

Students discuss methods to solve equations and inequalities with one variable. As a review, they write Addition and Subtraction properties of equality and Multiplication and Division properties of equality. Students graph points, write...

In this equation basics worksheet, students solve simple algebraic equations. This one-page self-checking worksheet may be completed on-line. If preferred, an answer sheet may be printed.

What a great classroom resource! The intention of this lesson is to show that real-world math can and should be applied to the community in which your high schoolers reside. The class relates properties of equations to solving for...

Systems of equations and inequalities model contextual situations. A set of 12 lessons build a solid understanding of writing and solving systems of equations and inequalities using a variety of methods. The module is the fifth in a...

Solve equations and graph systems of inequalities. Designed as a lesson to reinforce these concepts, learners revisit shading and boundaries along with solving linear inequalities.

Show your class that not all equations are linear. The lesson asks learners to solve simple quadratic and cubic equations using square and cube roots. Problems include equations with no solutions. 

A quick learning game challenges players to solve one-step addition and subtraction algebraic equations. Scholars play against several others, racing around the track in their four-wheeler, to see who can solve for a variable as fast...

It's time for them to show you what they've learned! The review provides a sampling of the different concepts learned throughout the eight-part series. Learners solve equations by combining like terms, applying the distributive property,...

True or false? Scholars determine the truth value of equations and inequalities through substitution. All values to use for substitution are given with each equation or inequality. This is the 24th lesson in a module of 36.

This task gives geometry learners practice in solving radical equations in one variable and zeros in extraneous solutions.

The truth is always best. Individuals continue to find values that make equations true in the 26th installment of the 36-part module. The only difference is that they now call them solutions to those equations.

Let's get the equation set. Pupils see the importance of setting up an one-variable equation in the first of two lessons on optimization problems. The presenter works four different types of problems before individuals use the included...

Does the explanation make sense? Sample items highlight claim three, communicating reason, in the Smarter Balanced assessments. Teachers use the 16 items to help show pupils the importance of communication and reasoning within...
