Basic Algebra - Lesson 4 Order of Operations

Where did all these variables come from, anyway? The previous lessons in the series ask learners to solve multi-step equations using the distributive property, combining like terms, and using inverse operations. Now scholars solve...

Challenge your mathematicians to simplify and solve a variety of different equations. This worksheet focuses on multi-step problems that begin with combining like terms and advance toward solving equations with variables on both sides. A...

Put on your thinking caps because middle school math has never been more interesting in this huge resource full of thought provoking questions. Written as a newsletter, the resource has 10 two-page newsletters with a variety of...

Need to prep your science learners in math? Here is a resource that serves as a review guide to support your scientists with the math they need to be successful in chemistry. Comes with basic algebraic problems and a review of some...

Now there are parentheses in these equations? As the lessons continue in this series, equations get progressively more complex. Eighth graders solve equations by applying the distributive property before using inverse operations. 

When guess and check gets old, it's time to start graphing! An instructive lesson explains how to solve a system of linear equations using graphing. Equations are in both slope-intercepts and standard form. 

Discover the joy and excitement of improving your math fluency through four different puzzles. Combine those with 25 different ways to represent numbers and you have hours of enjoyment that can be fun outside of the classroom as well.
