How can you solve systems of linear equations? This slideshow introduces learners to the substitution method, the elimination method using addition and subtraction, and the elimination method using multiplication. Guided practice...

Practice solving linear equations by graphing. Scholars learn to solve multi-step linear equations in one variable by graphing both sides of the equation separately. They use graphing calculators to find the intersection of the graphs.

In this algebra learning exercise, learners solve linear equations using one and two steps. They solve systems of equations using substitution and elimination with graphing. There are links for ready made tests and quizzes.

Investigate linear quadratic systems and pose this question: Do all linear quadratic systems have two solutions? Do they all have a solution? Learners solve systems of equations through graphing. They indicate the points of intersection...

Provide guidance and practice of the useful skill: solving rational equations using both an algebraic and graphical approach. Pupils solve increasingly more difficult rational equations using algebraic methods. After, they...

Combine math, creative writing, and leprechauns in a fun St. Patrick's Day activity! Using a bag of gold coins and marshmallows, kids write a math story about a leprechaun that includes a multi-step equation to solve.

An intersection is more than just the point where lines intersect; explain this and the meaning of the intersection to your class. The 26th segment in a 33-part series uses graphing to solve systems of equations. Pupils graph linear...

Here is a great set of eight scenarios that require the writing of a one-variable inequality and then solving to find the solution. This inequality word problem activity is then followed by the solutions to each of the eight problems.

Pupils use visual models, numeric methods, and equations to solve percent problems. To complete the second installment of 20, they find the part given the percent and the whole, find the percent given the part and the whole, and find the...

Why do I have to learn two different ways to solve linear-quadratic systems? Isn't one way enough? Learners first investigate the three possible situations for linear-quadratic systems (two, one, or zero solutions), then solve such...

Learners solve literal equations.  In this Algebra I/Algebra II instructional activity, learners view a PowerPoint presentation about solving literal equations.  Learners have the opportunity to complete an interactive...

In this system of equations activity, students solve systems of equations. They plot functions and evaluate solutions as floating point numbers. This two-page activity contains 8 multi-step problems.

Learners differentiate between expression and equation by evaluating integers and observing the difference. They use the TI to see the steps to solve problems.

In this algebra worksheet, students solve linear equations using one and two steps. They solve systems of equations using substitution and elimination with graphing. There are links for ready made tests and quizzes.

Sixth graders solve one unknown number by using hands-on manipulatives after being introduced to the history of abstract mathematics through literature.

In this online math worksheet, students solve equations which have the variable on both sides. This excellent resource allows the students to check their answers, and to get "hints" should they run into difficulties. A terrific teaching...

Students discuss the meaning of balance and how it applies to equations. After listening to a lecture, they practice solving equations with two orders of operation and doing whatever they do on one side to the other side as a class. To...

In this prealgebra activity, pupils perform addition, subtraction, multiplication, or division operations to solve for an unknown. There are 12 problems to be solved. Use this as a quiz to assess how well your class is grasping the skill...

Use patterns to practice basic addition; pupils count by two, starting from eight and counting on to 20. They record the five numbers missing from the sequence. Below, the worksheet walks learners through the process...
