Adding and Subtracting Integers Unit
Just because one integer is larger than another doesn't mean it will make sense right away. Go beyond note taking and show learners, through the use of algebra tiles and a Four-Pan Algebra Balance, how the numbers relate to one another...
Curated OER
Integer Algebraic Addition
Students use algebra tiles to solve linear equations with integer solutions. In this algebra lesson plan, students use the additive inverse and the zero pair concept.
Curated OER
Adding Integers with Counters
Students solve integers using addition. In this algebra activity, students add integers using counters. They define and label patterns created by integer operations.
Curated OER
Factoring Trinomials
Students factor trinomials using algebra tiles and blocks. In this algebra lesson, students complete a trinomials station activity. They work backwords to find their answers and discuss their steps in a group.
Curated OER
Writing Number Sentences
Students practice writing number sentences. After reading real world problems, they describe the same situation by writing a number sentence. Students use algebra tiles, or counters, to demonstrate the use zero pairs in solving...

Find the Factors and Prime Factors
Show the class how to find the factors of numbers. They use a variety of strategies, including unifix cubes, to find the factors of a whole number. This resource includes clear procedure to follow. Included are an anticipatory set,...
Curated OER
Factoring
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.
Curated OER
Factoring Trinomials
Students factor trinomials. In this algebra lesson, students identify the different integers making up the trinomial and use the special pattern to factor them. They continue to model the equations and how to factor correctly.
Curated OER
Cartesian Coordinate System
Students explore the Cartesian coordinate plane and plot points on the graph. They interpret coordinates for a point from the graph and give the ratio of rise over run for slope.
Curated OER
Visualizing Integers
Students create visuals on the TI Calculator to solve problems. For this algebra lesson, students perform basic operations with integers. They add, subtract, multiply and divide.
