Overview of how to write algebraic expressions with step-by-step examples.

Definitions, example problems, and practice exercises will help you evaluate and write algebraic expressions.

Practice plugging in values to evaluate real-world algebraic expressions. These are introductory problems, so the expressions aren't too complicated. Students receive immediate feedback and have the opportunity to try questions...

This resource discusses the use of manipulatives in the study of Algebra. The author sees benefits in symbol manipulation to enrich understanding, in geometric interpretation strengthening the connection to other parts of mathematics,...

Explains how to find a common denominator between two rational expressions and how to reduce a fraction that involves factoring. There are example problems solved, problems for the student to attempt, and answers to the student problems....

Provides examples and a video lesson that illustrates how to compose a mathematical expression.

An equation that contains at least one rational expression is called a rational equation. You solve a rational equation as you solve any other equation.

[Free Registration/Login may be required to access all resource tools.] Learn how to factor quadratic expressions. Includes examples, videos, review exercises, and a quiz.

How to simplify radical expressions is explained through the use of examples and a video lesson. [2:29]

Here is a site that clearly and thoroughly explains removing grouping symbols like parentheses, braces, and brackets. There are example problems solved, problems for the student to attempt, and answers to the student problems. Point this...

The purpose of this task is to identify the structure in the two algebraic expressions by interpreting them in terms of a geometric context, a series of squares filled with dot arrangements. Students are asked to notice a pattern and...

This is an assessment task that has students look for structure in algebraic expressions related to the context of trucks delivering concrete blocks and asks them to relate that structure to the context. Aligns with A-SSE.A.1 and...

In this task, students are asked to study the structure of an algebraic expression, draw conclusions, and explain their thinking. Aligns with A-SSE.A.1 and A-SSE.A.1.b.

A short tutorial is presented to explain how the distributive property is used to simplify expressions. Students can practice the concept using the online worksheet provided.

The goal of this activity is for middle schoolers to use manipulatives to add integers, creating concepts rather than memorizing rules. This activity will be related to the 300 Spartans who battled the invading Persians at the Battle of...

Watch as the organ function grinder from the National Museum of Mathematics represents a quadratic function in a variety of ways. This video focuses on converting a verbal expression into an algebraic representation.

The tutorial explains how to factor trinomials. The resource includes a lesson with examples, practice problems, and an expression-factoring calculator.

Picture a roll of toilet paper; assume that the paper in the roll is very tightly rolled. Assuming that the paper in the roll is very thin, find a relationship between the thickness of the paper, the inner and outer radii of the roll,...

Students investigate how to simplify using the distributive property. The resource consists of lessons with examples, an expression simplifying calculator, and a worksheet to check for comprehension.

Solve linear equations that contain expressions with parentheses and the coefficients are rational numbers. Students receive immediate feedback and have the opportunity to try questions repeatedly, watch a video or receive hints.
