Five out of four people have trouble with fractions! After comparing simplifying fractions to simplifying rational expressions, pupils use the same principles to multiply and divide rational expressions. 

Make the complicated look relatively simple. The video shows how multiplication of algebraic fractions is easier when they factor the numerators and denominators. Pupils see which factors will cancel, or divide out, easier when writing...

Is there more to college algebra than this? Even though the eBook is designed for a college algebra course, there are several topics that align to Algebra II or Pre-calculus courses. Topics begin with linear equation and inequalities,...

Proofs do not exist only in geometry. The video shows the class different ways that proofs appear in algebra. Pupils work through a variety of algebraic proofs involving the divisibility of an algebraic expression or whether it is even...

Get back to the basics to become an expert. The short video shows the basics of dividing algebraic expressions. Using several examples, the presenter reminds viewers of the rules of exponents when dividing. Pupils practice dividing...

Do the keep, change, flip dance. The resource shows that the division of algebraic fractions follows the same rules as dividing numerical fractions. Pupils understand that if they can multiply rational expressions, they can divide...

How do you know if a number is divisible? Instructors first prove the divisibility rules for three and four and then class members use this modeling to prove given divisibility rules for eight and nine either individually or in...

Sew up learning on writing rules for patterns with an assessment task that has pupils investigate the number of triangles needed for cushions of different sizes. They then use the data to generate a rule for a cushion of any size.

Young mathematicians extend their knowledge of rational numbers on a number line to graph inequalities by first using number cards to compare rational numbers. They finish by using similar reasoning to graph inequalities on a number line.

Need exponentt practice? Then this exponent worksheet will be helpful to have learners evaluate exponent expressions and algebraic expressions. They use the distributive property to solve equations. This three-page worksheet contains...

Multiplication can be expressed in many ways. This PowerPoint should help students decipher different algebraic expressions by including definitions, examples of word phrases, and placement rules of variables. The last four slides...

Learners solve problems using PEMDAS. In this algebraic equations lesson, students evaluate expressions using real number properties. They play "Math Jeopardy" to reinforce the order of operations.

Find an easier way to double it. Using the price of an item and the Consumer Price Index, learners determine how long it will be for the price to double. Scholars calculate the length of time it would take for the price to double using a...

Need to prep your science learners in math? Here is a resource that serves as a review guide to support your scientists with the math they need to be successful in chemistry. Comes with basic algebraic problems and a review of...

In this subtraction worksheet, learners simplify subtraction equations containing two to four terms. They write expressions for a given verbal sentence. This one-page contains approximately 25 problems.

Patterns in math emerge from seemingly random places. Learners explore the patterns for factoring the sum and differences of perfect roots. Analyzing these patterns helps young mathematicians develop the polynomial identities.

Thirty at the party won't cost any more than twenty-five. The assessment task provides a scenario for the cost of a party where the initial fee covers a given number of guests. The class determines the cost for specific numbers of guests...

Each week Mia saves a certain portion of the earnings from her babysitting job. Help her figure out how much she can save this week with a step-by-step presentation on function tables. Given a set of inputs and outputs, the process for...

In this Algebra II activity, 11th graders rewrite the sums of logarithms as a single logarithm using the product rule.  The one page activity contains five problems.  Answers are provided. 

Maintain a positive atmosphere in your math class with this fun lesson on adding and subtracting integers. After first explaining the rules for combining positive and negative numbers, this resource uses a comic strip...

Determine the location of a point on a moving wheel. The task challenges groups to determine the horizontal and vertical locations of a point on the edge of wheel that is moving. Teams first determine a function that will model the...

Middle and high schoolers complete and solve 12 various types of problems. First, they express the output as a function of the input in each table. Then, pupils evaluate for the given variable when the value is as stated. In addition,...

Middle schoolers describe plotting functions on the Cartesian coordinate plane. They solve functions on paper and using an online tool to plot points on a Cartesian coordinate plane creating lines and parabolas.

In this algebra worksheet, learners use order of operations to solve 12 equations. They use the substitution method to solve 12 variable equations.
