Students, using algebraic operations, solve and check linear equations. At the beginning of class, they write a paragraph comparing the solving of math problems to solving real life problems. Students observe solving systems of two...

Middle and high schoolers investigate how to solve inequalities. The lesson has a good guide for taking pupils through a direct instruction of the concept. You can use counting tiles in order to help kinesthetic learners.

In this linear expressions activity, prealgebra pros solve and complete three different types of problems. First, they simplify several expressions as far as possible. Then, they match expressions to their simplified versions. Finally,...

Eighth graders discuss bullying in an interpersonal skill building lesson. After researching the effects of bullying and discussing ways to handle bullies, they create a skit showing situations related to bullying, the...

In this secondary mathematics activity, students use the given information to determine which of the fractional inequality statements are true.  The one page activity contains one problem with the solution. 

Develop a solid understanding of multiplication and division properties of exponents. Individuals expand exponential terms to discover the patterns and create the properties in the second installment in a series of 15. The activity...

Students use paper cups and colored chips to observe properties of operations with real numbers. As a class, students brainstorm and use manipulatives to demonstrate associative, commutative, distributive identity and inverse properties....

In this expanding brackets worksheet, students read through an explanation of expanding brackets in mathematical equations and then complete 10 practice problems. Students then complete 58 problems in which they need to work through...

Students pretend they are time-travellers and travel back to 1954 to a McDonald's Restaurant to see how prices have changed. They need to add and subtract money with regrouping.

Eighth graders participate in a lesson that covers the concept of an algebraic inequality. They practice recognizing the symbols used in an inequality and solving them using the methods that are similar to solving equations.

Students explore the concept of the associative, commutative, and distributive properties. In the associative, commutative, and distributive properties lesson, students discuss real world examples of each property. Students demonstrate...

In this algebraic equations worksheet, students read a 2 page explanation of algebraic equations. They then use the information they just learned to solve the following 14 questions in which they solve algebraic equations.

Pupils solve and graph inequalities on a number line. In this algebra lesson, students solve using addition, subtraction, multiplication and division and graph their solutions using open or closed circles. They graph with 80%-90% accuracy.

Seventh graders graph solutions for inequalities on a number line. They solve 1 and 2 step inequalities in one variable. Students also check solutions to 1 and 2 step equations in one variable

In this algebra and geometry worksheet, students review concepts dealing with angles, lines and basic word problems. They practice answering questions similar to the ones on the SAT.

In this Algebra II worksheet, 11th graders simplify radical expressions.  The two page worksheet contains explanation, worked example, and three practice problems.  Answers are not included. 

Students are "given" $25.00 to spend at a restaurant. Using the Internet, they must "order" a complete 4 course meal while staying within their budget.

In this math activity, students engage in a mental math activity. Student think a number and follow several computations with that number and always come up with the answer 9. Students discuss why this happens.

In this math terms puzzle worksheet, students read the description for each math term. Students try to guess what each term is. Students circle the third letter in the box to check their answers.

In this graphing linear inequalities worksheet, students graph 1 linear inequality.  Students walk through each step to graphing the inequality and shading the appropriate region on the graph.

This site provides students practice with the concept of multiplying and dividing integers. Students can learn about the topic by completing an interactive tutorial. Students can then take a ten question timed test to practice the skill.

Solve an inequality that has negative numbers and a variable. This video focuses on using inverse operations to solve for a variable and the importance of flipping the inequality when multiplying or dividing by a negative number.

A discussion on how to solve linear and nonlinear inequalities is presented. Both the Test Method and the Factor Method of checking positive/negative intervals are included as part of the discussion.

This site is a tutorial for students in algebra 2 or for those who need a refresher. The site has explanations, definitions, examples, practice problems and practice tests are found covering topics such as linear equations, graphing,...
