Evaluating Algebraic Expressions

Starting a year of Algebra I? This mighty packet practices all of the major topics with different ranges of difficulty. Standards include everything from linear to quadratic to rational expressions. Use it in a variety of ways to...

Lets keep the system working and show learners the three ways to solve linear systems of equations. Each method includes step-by-step instructions to work their way through the problem. The same problem is used for each method to show...

Discover how algebra tiles help evaluate expressions. Scholars learn to use algebra tiles to substitute values in for variables and evaluate expressions. The included worksheet contains a set of evaluation problems to assess individuals'...

Here is an equation in which the first step is to use the distributive property to get rid of the parenthesis. Then it is solved for the variables. Since there are variables on both sides of the equation, it is important to verify the...

The instructor demonstrates how to use the distributive property to get rid of the fractions in an equation. Remember to have learners plug their answers back into the original equation in order to check their work.

Here is an equation in which the first step is to use the distributive property to get rid of the parenthesis. Then it is solved for the variables. Since there are variables on both sides of the equation, it is important to verify the...

Sal offers an example showing how to manipulate numbers on either side of the equal sign to isolate the variable and solve the equation.

Your algebra learners will pick up some solid algebra problem solving skills and a plan of approach for some typical types of word problems in this scripted activity that shows how to set up and organize each type of problem, create the...

Make the complicated look relatively simple. The video shows how multiplication of algebraic fractions is easier when they factor the numerators and denominators. Pupils see which factors will cancel, or divide out, easier when writing...

The process requires the combination of several concepts. A video shows how individuals need several concepts to add rational expressions. Pupils must remember they need to find common denominators, combine like terms, and use the...
