In this algebraic expression or equation worksheet, students identify each given problem as an algebraic expression or an algebraic equation. This four-page worksheet contains approximately 20 problems. This interactive worksheet may be...

For this modeling in algebra worksheet, 8th graders solve ten different types of algebra problems, including 5 word problems. They first complete each table, describe the pattern used, and determine the 20th and nth term for each....

In this algebra worksheet, students write equations from a given diagram. They relate these problems with functions having to do with inputs and outputs. There are 10 diagrams to be deciphered.

In this systems of linear equations instructional activity, students solve 18 short answer and multiple choice questions. Students write and solve systems of equations given a word problem.

In this algebra activity, students solve linear equations and graph their answer. They add and subtract integers and compare them using a number line. There are 15 questions with an answer key.

In this math worksheet, students write the equations for the interior angles of triangles and quadrilaterals. Students are given the total number of degrees in each shape and a variable value for the angles.

Here is a great opportunity to introduce your mathematicians to a food they may never have heard of, quinoa. It may help to show a short video on quinoa, or make some quinoa for the class to try. Once they get over how to say quinoa,...

Here is a linear equations activity in which learners problem solve and calculate the answers to twenty linear equations with various variables.

Use manipulatives (film cans and balance scales) to visualize and solve equivalent equations with your math class. After a lecture/demo, they utilize handouts and solve various equations using the methods learned.

Need more detail in showing your class how to solve two-step equations and proportions? This lesson plan outlines the steps young mathematicians need to solve simple equations and check their results. 

In this algebraic equations worksheet, students complete multiplication problems with one variable and they solve for that variable. Students complete 20 problems on 20 pages.

In this online math worksheet, students solve multi-step equations which have the variable on both sides. This excellent resource allows the students to check their answers, and to get "hints" should they run into difficulties. A...

Prompt scholars to complete a magic square using only variables. Then they can attempt to solve a numerical magic square using algebra. 

Graph equations of lines using the slope-intercept method or by plotting both x and y intercepts. Determine if two lines are parallel or perpendicular by comparing their slopes. This handout includes step-by-step directions and four...

Bring balance to your lesson plans with an activity that asks individuals to solve one-step linear equations with inverse operations. Balance scales help learners understand the concept of isolating the variable.

Playing with matches (unlit, of course) becomes an engaging learning experience in this fun instructional unit. Teach pupils how to apply properties of exponential functions to solve problems. They differentiate between quadratic and...

There's just something special about lines in algebra. Introduce your classes to linear equations by analyzing the linear relationship. Young mathematicians use input/output pairs to determine the slope and the slope-intercept formula to...

Tackle a common misconception using a performance task. Dividing by a variable to eliminate a variable may seem like a good idea, but simplifying the variable eliminates solutions as well. Learners develop algebraic and graphical support...

Put geometry skills to the test! Learners solve compound inequalities and then graph the inequalities on a coordinate plane using their geometric skills. They identify the slope and y-intercept in order to graph correctly. I like this...
