This is a wonderful exercise for learners to apply their critical thinking skills along with their knowledge of quadratic functions and parabolas. Young mathematicians investigate a real-world scenario about the height a baseball reaches...

Your algebra learners will enjoy the real-life application of the three tasks presented here. They complete a table and a graph comparing the two options presented. One option is linear, while the other is exponential. After coming up...

In this make a table worksheet, students read real world questions and write an equation to match the equation. Next, they solve the equation.   This one-page worksheet contains two problems.

Help plan a road trip with linear equations. Scholars consider two different rental car companies and write equations representing the cost for each company. They graph the system of equations to determine the conditions under which each...

Buying a new sofa? Learn how to use the Pythagorean Theorem, as well as algebra and graphing techniques, to determine whether the sofa will fit around a corner (which I'm sure you'll agree is a very important consideration!).

In this algebra worksheet, 11th graders calculate the sum of squares of all real numbers that satisfy an equation. An answer key is provided.

In this algebra worksheet, students solve one step equations using multiplication. They are reminded of an equation needing the same thing done to both sides. There are 12 linear problems.

Here you will find a model of a linear relationship between two quantities, the water depth of a channel and the distance across the channel at water level. The cross section of the channel is the shape of an isosceles trapezoid. The...

Exponential functions are the name of the game. Young mathematicians can work through each of the eight worksheets by evaluating functions, applying logarithms, completing logarithmic functions, and building inverse functions. This...

In this solving equations worksheet, students solve 11 one step equations.  Students subtract a constant to isolate the variable.
