Math 7/8 Homework - Writing and Solving Equations

Definitions and examples of everything related to polynomials.  A great review sheet showing the variety of ways in which to solve polynomials. Lots of practice problems to reinforce adding, subtracting, multiplying and dividing...

Middle and high schoolers solve 20 short answer and multiple choice problems. They simplify exponential expressions, find the GCF of two integers, find the prime factorization of an integer, solve equations and inequalities, etc.

Teach solving equations through an exploration of properties. Before pupils solve equations they manipulate them to produce equivalent equations. The activity switches the focus from finding a solution to applying properties correctly.

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. 

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...

The concept of absolute value can be difficult for learners to grasp. Reinforce their understanding of a basic absolute value expression and connect it to solving equations and inequalities. Scholars write two equations/inequalities to...

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

Sal demonstrates how to solve an equation. He begins by saying that the variable needs to be isolated. He shows how to move numbers on either side of the equal sign to isolate the variable. He also shows how to verify answers by plugging...

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.
