Algebra learners solve various rational equations. These start out fairly basic and get a little more complex. 

In this factor worksheet, algebra learners factor expressions containing two to four terms. This one-page worksheet contains 15 problems, with answers.

Algebra learners can practice solving one-step equations using both addition and subtraction with decimal numbers.  A few problems challenge the pupil to write and solve their own equation based on information given in a table. 

In this quadratic worksheet, algebra learners use the zero product property to solve basic quadratic equations. They identify where the parabola crosses the x-axis. Explanations and examples are provided. Answers are located on page two....

Here are 3 subtraction problems and a built-in number line ready to build algebraic reasoning skills. Little learners subtract 5 balloons from the given number to find an answer. Each problem has balloons for them to count, cross out,...

In this algebra worksheet, learners use synthetic division to divide polynomials and use the Remainder Theorem to evaluate the functions at the given value.  The one page worksheet contains eleven problems.  Answers are...

Pupils use blocks and markers to illustrate the processes of adding, subtracting, multiplying and dividing integers. In this mathematics lesson, learners use Algebra blocks to demonstrate multiplying polynomials.

Explore early algebra by participating in a pattern identification activity using a random assortment of different household materials. The class creates, completes, and analyzes different patterns with the help of leggos, buttons,...

Have your class practice solving algebraic equations, finding the square root of a number, and more. This activity allows learners to practice key skills in a motivating way.

Recipies are a natural medium for using fractions in real-world problems. This delicious activity has learners adapting the ingredients for coconut and chocolate chip macaroons, a Passover treat, for fewer and more cookies than the...

The rides at a theme park always have limits on weight or number of riders. This makes a natural example of the use of inequalities to solve real-world problems. Learners explore intuitive solutions using substitution to solve the...

Here is a resource that helps your algebra learners understand the connection between the graph of two lines, the equations of lines, and the solutions and intersecting points of lines. It would make a great assessment question, but can...

A mail truck travels the same amount of miles per day. It will be up to your algebra learners to find an equation for this mailman’s truck. One needs a good understanding of rate of change and the initial value for this model. The...

Here is where algebra learners begin to understand that a function is a rule, and for each input there is exactly one output. The commentary gets bogged down with information about the predator-prey relationship between the fox and...

Algebra learners must know how to use rational numbers to approximate irrationals. This resource asks participants to decide which number is larger without using a calculator. It makes a great exercise to use as a five-minute transition...

The intent of this resource is to show algebra learners that there is a proportional relationship between two lines that have an intersecting point. As the coordinate x increases by a constant, the y coordinate also increases.  It...

This resource was written for the younger math learner, but finding the volume of an irregular solid is also a problem for algebra and geometry students. Based on Archimedes’ Principle, one can calculate the volume of a stone by...

In this assessment task, learners determine whether a crown with given information is composed of pure gold. The task expects algebraic and numerical solution methods, so unlike Archimedes, no bathtub is necessary.

Physics stars design mobiles that demonstrate rotational equilibrium. They take measurements and solve related equations for force by graphing, substitution, or determinants. This is a well-developed lesson plan, complete with student...

We landed on the moon with less computing capabilities than you can find in this app! Here is a multiple function calculator that takes all the power you get from a handheld and adds the wonderful large screen that only a tablet can...

There's nothing negative about this mini-unit on integers! Engaging young mathematicians in a series of hands-on activities and collaborative learning opportunities, this resource offers an excellent way to introduce your class...

Students explore algebraic relationships using the coins in their "pocket." Interactive games that demonstrate the use of estimation in algebraic problem solving help them build a framework for understanding word problems in a way that...
