Solving Equations Teacher Resources

Tell the story of solving an equation. With words and symbols, viewers learn to describe what is happening in an equation. Using that description, pupils reverse the story to arrive at the value of x that makes the equation true.

Demonstrate the application of algebra to geometric angle relationships with an activity that asks learners to use what they know about adjacent and vertical angles to write algebraic equations. Diagrams become more complex in this...

Here is a problem solving worksheet in which learners read six story problems. They write an equation and then solve the problem. Basic addition and subtraction will be used.

Increase understanding of the algebraic properties and their importance. Scholars justify their steps as they simplify expressions and solve equations. They formalize their work as two-column proof.

Give your learners a review of solving equations with a worksheet full of different problems. Start simple and have them work their way up to multi-step equations that use fractions and the distributive property. Use the additional...

Go from one-step to two-step with all operations represented! A video instructor presents worked-out solutions to several linear equations. He begins with one-step equations and progresses to two-step equations requiring the distributive...

Make a game out of solving equations. This particular activity works well for pairs of learners. Follow the instructions to have player one pick a number and player two verbally give an equation. Participants need to make sense of a...

Sal dissects basic algebraic equations of the form Ax=B. He encourages viewers to fully understand the equations before learning how to manipulate them. Furthermore, he teaches students how to solve the equations systematically. The...

What does order of operations have to do with solving equations? A video explains solving two-step equations using a do/undo chart. Learners recognize the operations within an equation and use inverse operations to undo those...

Demonstrate the steps of solving linear equations—this time with variables on both sides! A video presentation completes several examples with binomials on each side of the equation. Learners then complete the included practice...

What does geometry have to do with geometry? The portion of a review series for a math assessment highlights how equation formation is assessed on the test. Pupils use geometric concepts such as perimeter and the sum of the measures of...

Intersections become solutions. Scholars watch a video on using a graphing calculator to find the solution to an equation in one variable. While watching the presentation, pupils practice working some of the examples and compare their...

We'd all like to see our money double. An interactive shows how an initial investment of $1,000 will increase using a constant rate of return. Scholars answer a set of challenge questions based on the situation.

Fifth graders discover how to use inverse operations to solve equations. In this inverse operations lesson, 5th graders explore visual examples. Students also practice solving problems that their instructors model.

In this solving equations in one variable worksheet, students solve 38 simple and complex equations. Students then write and solve equations for 6 word problems.

In this solving equations worksheet, students solve 15 equations with variables on both sides of the equal sign. Students are encouraged to check all solutions.

Fifth graders explore equations. In this solving equations lesson, 5th graders examine visual examples of writing and solving equations. Students also practice solving problems that their instructors model.

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...

In this solving equations practice worksheet, students sharpen their problems solving skills as they solve 24 single step equations.

In this solving equations worksheet, students practice their math skills as they solve 24 single step equations that require them to solve for x.

Need more detail in showing your class how to solve two-step equations and proportions? This lesson plan outlines the steps young mathematicians need to solve simple equations and check their results. 

In this solving equations instructional activity, learners simplify equations containing fractions and variables on both sides and then solve for the unknown. This two-page instructional activity contains 25 multi-step problems.

Young mathematicians solve linear equations by drawing models of algebra tiles using colored pencils. To finish, they solve the same equations algebraically and check their answers using a graphing calculator.

There are many equations Algebra I learners are not ready to solve. Graphing to solve gives them a strategy to use when they are unsure of an algebraic approach to solve the problem. The lesson plan exposes learners to a wide...
