Do the keep, change, flip dance. The resource shows that the division of algebraic fractions follows the same rules as dividing numerical fractions. Pupils understand that if they can multiply rational expressions, they can divide...

Section 9 of the 12 linked Saxon Math sections introduces the young algebrist to graphing periodic functions, creating graphs from quadratic roots, working with inequalities, and rational equations. Common among all the lessons is the...

0/0 doesn't equal 0! Begin this lesson by allowing the class to explore the concept of dividing by zero. The introduction allows for discovery and provides meaningful examples of dividing by zero. This understanding leads to solving...

Rewriting expressions in different forms is an essential algebra skill. Support the development of this skill by using a task that asks scholars to begin with a linear, quadratic, and rational expression and then manipulate...

Push an engaging resource to the limit. The interactive allows learners to find a limit on quadratic functions graphically. Using sliders, pupils set the x-value for the limit and to move values from the left and right toward the limit.

Transform your lesson for transforming functions. Scholars transform linear, quadratic, exponential, rational, and trigonometric expressions. They write their expressions to fit specific forms and identify the values of the resulting...

How hard can it be to measure out two pounds? A short performance task introduces a situation where a balance scale is broken. It gives a method for measuring out two pounds and asks learners to evaluate the procedure. They must prove...

How many things does one transformation tell you? Learners compare and contrast the graphs of different parent functions with the same transformation. Using a rational and absolute value function, pupils identify key features of their...

Don't let the resource become extraneous. Learners review the concept of solving equations, including rational and radical equations. Part of a larger Claim 1 Item Slide Show series, a PowerPoint presentation gives 11 questions for them...

Indices and exponents mean the same. Pupils review exponential notation by watching the review video for the General Certificate of Secondary Education math assessment refresher. Scholars then use the activity to show what they know...

Simplification is about factoring. While working with rational expressions, pupils must know how to factor. The video shows how the process of finding common factors in algebraic fractions is similar to finding common factors in...

It's called a removable discontinuity for a reason. After reviewing the conditions for a removable discontinuity to exist, scholars watch an informative video to learn how to remove the discontinuity. They look at several examples...

Infinite limits just got infinitely more interesting. The 15th of 18 installments in Unit 1 - Limits and Continuity looks at infinite limits and vertical asymptotes of rational functions. Scholars review how to determine the locations of...

Continue one's studies by studying discontinuities. The 11th of 18 lessons in Unit 1 - Limits and Continuity first describes the different types of discontinuities. By watching a video, pupils learn to algebraically determine the...

Life in the UK changed a lot during and after WWII. Review major events, pop icons, and life during wartime with a game. Kids play a Millionaire-style game to test what they know about rationing, blackouts, The Beatles, and British...

Learners are introduced to the concept of radicals and how to use them in various situations. They review rational and irrational numbers while simplifying different number sentences. They also practice factoring perfect squares.

In this addition and subtraction activity, students solve 15 problems in which they add or subtract with monomial denominators, binomial denominators, and complex fractions.

In this algebra worksheet, 11th graders find the rational roots of an equation, by setting it to zero and solving for x. They can also use synthetic division and p/q to help find and eliminate rational root values. There are 19 problems...

Don't harbor any negative feelings toward negative numbers. Scholars learn about different classifications of rational numbers, including negative integers. They also develop definitions of the opposite and the absolute value of a...

In this algebra worksheet, students simplify 14 complex radical fractions. They find the square roots for both the denominator and numerator, dividing out any factors that are the same to completely simplify the fraction. For the final 7...

Real and unreal, rational and irrational, your learners will become experts at labeling numbers with this worksheet. A full sheet of different numbers requires your mathematicians to label each number with any category that fits that...

Here's a resource teachers won't want to wash their hands of. Given a task where a full bar of soap is on one side of a balance and 3/4 of a bar of soup and a 3/4-ounce weight is on the other side, young mathematicians must determine the...

Create models to demonstrate multiplication and division of fractions. Using fraction tiles to model fractions, pupils explore fractions on a ruler and use pattern blocks to multiply and divide. They also create number lines with fractions.

Here is an extensive set of teacher's notes to help you teach all about integers. Begin by introducing a number line and how it can be used to visualize positive and negative numbers. Talk about absolute value and the additive inverse...
