Algebraic Concepts Teacher Resources

In this electronics worksheet, students evaluate mathematical expressions to complete 16 short answer and problem solving questions.

Basic algebraic equations of the form Ax=B are dissected. Sal encourages viewers to fully understand what the equations represent prior to learning how to manipulate them. Furthermore, he teaches students how to solve the equations...

"Equations 2" is the second video in this series. It follows the presentation titled "Simple Equations." This presentation shows how to solve slightly more complicated algebraic equations, like Ax+B=C. Sal uses visuals (like a number...

This is a lesson in solving linear equations. More specifically, students will see how to solve an equation with a variable expression in the denominator of a fraction.

Sal clearly demonstrates what not do when simplifying a squared binomial. Next, he clarifies why they can't square each term individually and then add them. He uses his incorrect example as a starting point to correctly demonstrate how...

Sal illustrates more involved equations in this last video in a series. It follows "Simple Equations" and "Equations 2". He continues using color-coded markings to help increase students' understanding of a more complicated equation:...

A wonderful way to introduce or practice simple algebraic equations, where a variable is used in place of a number. Learners will work to crack the Da Vinci Code (as it is called) and replace letter variables with the "code" numbers to...

Perform data analysis on energy consumption to apply algebraic expressions to the real world. Learners will write and solve equations that answer various questions from residential power use. They will collect data at home and calculate...

In this basic algebra instructional activity, students solve each of 20 equations by following the rules for basic algebra. They identify the variable in each equation. Then, students add or subtract like terms to get them on one side...

In the final two problems of the CAHSEE practice test, students are guided through algebraic equations involving factoring and reciprocals. This is a great resource for students who become confused by multiple choice questions, or who...

Reviewing basic algebra and graphing skills, this video guides students through three practice math problems on the CAHSEE. Seeing the work and thought process behind choosing the correct answer in a multiple choice question format.

Starting a new set of SAT practice problems from The Official SAT Study Guide (page 518), Sal takes students through some straightforward questions involving basic algebra and functions. However, as every math teacher and student knows,...

Sal is having a blast in this video, and his fun-loving attitude will rub off on even your most stressed-out test-takers. Problems 7-10 in the practice SAT require skills in linear equations, as well as approximation and basic algebra.

Sal picks up the pace in this video, going through problems 1-7 on page 774 of The Official SAT Study Guide. Basic algebra, arithmetic, and geometry problems start out this section, allowing students to build up some steam before hitting...

Launching into another practice session from The Official SAT Study Guide (page 855) Sal wastes no time in solving problems 1-6, which involve basic algebra and geometry. He encourages efficient problem solving, noting that on the first...

Sal again makes the SAT look effortless, and yet students will follow his mathematical processes with ease. Problems range in difficulty, from basic algebra equations to more complicated geometric figures.

On problems 5-8 of the practice SAT video series (page 424 of The Official SAT Study Guide), Sal demonstrates several different ways to solve each problem in an efficient and timely manner. Students will appreciate the ways he details...

Algebra concepts are all wrapped up in one nice bow. The resource combines all the concepts typically found in Algebra I and Algebra II courses in one eBook. The topics covered begin with solving linear equations and move to linear...

Students, while in the computer lab, assess how to use Microsoft Excel as a "graphing calculator." They view visual representations of line graphs in a Cartesian plane while incorporating basic skills for using Excel productively.
