This page includes a tutorial which teaches you how to find the Greatest Common Factor (GCF) of a polynomial, factor out the GCF of a polynomial, factor a polynomial with four terms by grouping, factor trinomials, and factor a difference...

Solve the given real-world word problems.

This resource covers the basic algebraic concepts of like terms, substitution, solving one- and two-step equations, and using formulas and problem solving. Sample problems and links to application problems are included.

The lesson plan provided here gives a step-by-step set of instructions for balancing an equation in order to find the value of the unknown variable. After two examples are worked through, 10 practice problems are given, as well as their...

[Free Registration/Login may be required to access all resource tools.] In this lesson students solve equations that involve more than two steps to isolate the variable. Students examine guided notes, review guided practice, watch...

The purpose of this task is to see how well students students understand and reason with ratios. This task was adapted from problem #14 on the 2011 American Mathematics Competition (AMC) 8 Test. Aligns with 7.RP.A.3. The site provides a...

In this lesson plan, young scholars will work cooperatively to solve multi-step equations online. The program will allow them to solve the equations and then check their answers. Students lacking the needed skills to complete this...

In this exercise, students practice linear equation word problems. Students receive immediate feedback and have the opportunity to get hints and try questions repeatedly.

Students are given the opportunity to visualize and interact with concepts they have already learned, specifically algebraic equations and solving for unknown variables. Students construct a balancing seesaw system (LEGO Balance Scale)...

Explains the "trick" to "work" word problems (such as two people painting a room, or two pipes filling a tank), and demonstrates how to set up and solve these exercises.

Learn how to solve a system of nonlinear equations using the substitution and the elimination methods. This tutorial offers definitions, problems and step-by-step solutions, and practice exercises for you to complete and check.

This resource is about factoring linear and quadratic expressions in one variable, evaluating them at a given value of the variable, multiplying factors to find the expanded form of the expression, and solving linear and quadratic...

Using this tutorial, you'll learn two methods of solving quadratic inequalities: using a sign graph of factors and using the test-point method. Offers step-by-step written examples, and practice problems for you to complete.

This tutorial shows two different ways in which you can simplify complex fractions. Works through examples step-by-step and gives some practice problems.

Can you find the best route for the Olympic Torch relay to take? This more challenging activity is designed to be accessible to GCSE maths students (grades 8, 9, and 10).

In Spanish. Everything you want to know about linear equations in easy to understand, step by step explanations. Discusses two variable equations, and different methods to solve them, slope, and more. Also provides practice problems for...

In Spanish. Clear step by step directions, explanations and example problems of quadratic equations. Explains factorization, the quadratic formula, and completing the square.

Using decks of cards and knowledge of number operations, students develop multi-step equations to reach a target number.
