The world is full of patterns. Help learners quantify those patterns with mathematical representations. The first Algebra lesson in a compilation of four uses a series of activities to build the concept of patterns using multiple...

Young scholars write and solve linear equations in one variable based on descriptions of the operations that are applied to the unknown variable in an algebra machine. They then create their own problems for classmates to solve.

Students review the standards for Algebra I. Using the text, they discover two problems that match each standard and solve them showing all steps on paper. They create a PowerPoint slide for each problem and go through the correct...

Sixth graders investigate the concepts of a variable, constant, expressions, and equations. They solve problems which require the interpretation of expressions in and out of equations looking for solutions. Students also use a balance...

Students determine how the weights of 7 objects on a seesaw can vary and still be in balance. They also write equations in algebraic terms, how to change 3 variables in an equation expressed in algebraic terms to obtain the correct...

In this practice exit exam, students complete a variety of basic algebra problems on an Algebra I skill level. They simplify expressions containing variables, factor quadratic equations, find the slope of a line, identify the...

Ninth graders solve problems involving exponential functions. In this algebra lesson, 9th graders apply their knowledge of exponential properties to add, multiply, divide and subtract exponential functions. They perform these operations...

Students discover patterns in linear equations by playing a dice game to collect data. They graph the data and analyze the patterns of the lines created by the data. The class then compares the individual graphs to evaluate the position...

In this math worksheet, students solve the problems that involve linear equations. They substitute the values given for each variable.

In this algebra worksheet, students identify the order of operation and the distributive property. They add, subtract, multiply and divide expressions and equations. There are 10 questions with an answer key.

Ninth graders factor equations and find prime numbers. In this algebra lesson, 9th graders find the factors and prime factors of a number using multiples and relatively prime numbers.

These four lesson plans build algebra skills for working with numbers in exponential form and for examining triangles. Be aware that in the text, scientific notation is referred to as index notation and the laws of exponents as the laws...

In this 2-day lesson plan focused on exponents, middle schoolers will cross the curriculum by engaging in science, history and language arts activities. Exponential growth will be explored using grains of rice on a chess board....

Reinforces the use of the distributive property for the pre-algebra or the beginning algebra pupil. Multiple choice and short answer questions test the use of the distributive property in expressions using solely numerical values or...

Middle schoolers add, subtract, multiply, and divide rational numbers. They find the square and the cube of numbers. They create a game incorporating computation on rational numbers. Everyone works together to write and evaluate...

In this college prep algebra worksheet, students combine like terms in 15 polynomial expressions. Students multiply polynomials in 18 expressions. Students divide 6 polynomial expressions. The rest of the 48 problems relate to the...

Talk about delicious math! Pupils solve problems involving rational numbers and analyze real-life problems to find solutions in a pre-algebra class. They discuss the sections of a Hershey's bar in terms of fractions and decimals before...

In this algebra worksheet, students solve single variable linear equations. They solve 18 given equations for the given variable in each.

Students explore the distributive property. In this algebra lesson plan, students are given Fruit Loops or other manipulatives and the class is divided in half. Each half of the class completes part of the equation to show that both...

Students solve problems using the order of operation. In this algebra lesson, students solve problems using the PEMDAS. They work from the inside of a parentheses on outward as they solve the problem correctly.

Eighth graders find ways to use math everyday. In this algebra instructional activity, 8th graders model equation and problem solving as they multiply and divide numbers. They split up in to groups as they perform hands on operations. 

In this algebra worksheet, pupils answer 37 multiple choice questions, each having to do with exponential operations. Twenty-five problems require students to multiply exponential terms. four problems involve dividing with exponents. 8...

Ninth graders investigate the concept of relations and interpret graphs and tables. They analyze given data and look for a pattern to determine if the numbers represent a function. Students practice solving scientific word problems that...

In this math worksheet, pupils use a list of mathematical properties in order to justify their evaluations. Students name multiplicative inverses and properties illustrated in 13 numbers and statements.
