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...

Identifying patterns is a crucial skill for all mathematicians, young and old. Explore the multiplication table with your class, using patterns and symmetry to teach about square numbers, prime numbers, and the commutative and identity...

Take the time out of preparing an algebra review and use this multiple-choice assessment to prep for the big test. Some included topics are factoring, FOILing, inequalities, and linear graphs. 

In this factoring trinomials worksheet, students factor twenty-six trinomial expressions. One problem is not factorable, one is a perfect square, and seven problems require students to factor out a common integer prior to factoring the...

In this quadratic equation worksheet, 6th graders factor to solve a set of 10 equations. Answers are included on page 2, a reference web site is given for additional activities.

In this Algebra I worksheet, 9th graders factor algebraic expressions completely.  The one page worksheet contains ten problems.  Answers are provided. 

Build an understanding of factors and use it to write the prime factorization of numbers. After exploring key vocabulary, learners create prime factorization for given numbers. They then use the prime factorizations to determine the...

Time for pupils to use their imagination! Learners examine the relationship between a system with no real solution and its graph. They then verify their discoveries with algebra. 

Find that slope! This video does an excellent job of demonstrating how to use the slope formula to find the slope of a line using two points. The instructor first reviews the definition of slope of a line, then works three problems using...

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...

A great resource for any math teacher covering multiples, factors or square roots; this worksheet walks young mathematicians through the logic behind factoring and square roots with a systematic set of problems which gradually increase...

A 27-page packet full of math games and activities builds on algebra, measurement, geometry, fractional, and graphing skills. Young mathematicians participate in math games collaboratively, promoting teamwork and skills practice.

Patterns in polygons lead to patterns in polynomials. Presented with a series of polygons, individuals create polynomial expressions to represent their patterns. The algebra project consists of nine problems that incorporate polynomial...

Challenge high schoolers with a thorough math resource. The 20-page test incorporates questions from upper-level high school math in applied and higher order questions.

Factoring patterns are not magic! Show your classes how to model the difference of two squares' factors using an area model. Learners manipulate the width and length of two squares to represent the polynomial a^2-b^2. They use the model...

Nine true or false, multiple-choice, and discussion questions make up an interactive designed to reinforce scholars' knowledge of prime and composite numbers. A number chart reveals every prime number through 100. 

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...

What does completing the square have to do with circles? Math pupils use completing the square and other algebraic techniques to rewrite equations of circles in center-radius form. They then analyze equations of the form x^2 + y^2 + Ax +...

A series of assessment tasks require learners to process information and communicate solutions. Topics include graphing parabolas, solving linear-quadratic systems, factoring polynomials, and solving polynomial equations. 

What would Rudolph ask for in his ideal home? Pupils analyze the characteristics of the reindeer to create their perfect zoo habitats. A STEM lesson focuses on the design of the habitat while factoring constraints such as space, diet,...

Learning about factors and multiples is all fun and games with this simple math activity. The lesson begins with the teacher and class playing the Factor Game together as students figure out the rules and uncover key...

Use context to explain the importance of the key features of a graph. When context is introduced, the domain and range have meaning, which enhances understanding. Pupils use application questions to explore the key features of the graph...

Most problems can be solved using more than one method. A instructional activity includes just nine questions but many more ways to solve each. Scholars must graph, solve, and justify quadratic problems.
