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...

Add some variety to your school or district's math curriculum with this comprehensive collection of materials. Offering over 900 pages of Saxon Math lessons, worksheets, and activities, this resource is a gold mine for any middle school...

Physics stars design mobiles that demonstrate rotational equilibrium. They take measurements and solve related equations for force by graphing, substitution, or determinants. This is a well-developed lesson plan, complete with student...

Of particular interest to a group of business and finance pupils, this lesson explores depreciation of automobile values by comparing the double declining balance to the straight line method. Mostly this is done through a slide...

Most of your students probably think a car or college is the first big expense their parents could help them with, but as it turns out these kids have been costing their parents for their whole lives. Have they ever considered how much...

Seven real-life math problems require the solving of simultaneous pairs of linear equations. Although a similar approach is taken for most of the problems, the topic of sports stadium concessions should keep the interest level high. As a...

Three tasks are presented to your middle school math aces in which they write linear equations, insert values for x and y, graph the solutions, and note the points of intersection. The activity is neat and user-friendly. Two of the three...

This is the second video on the substitution method. Sal uses substitution to solve a system of equations with an inconsistent result demonstrating that the equations would not intersect on a graph.

Learners will explore linear functions. They start by comparing linear functions representing two trains racing toward each other. Next, they solve related word problems and complete corresponding data tables, graphs, and worksheets....

Linear equations, coordinate planes, and systems of equations are covered in this extremely well-organized lesson. Composed of a series of mini-lessons, the instruction aims at explaining a different facet of solving systems of linear...

New ReviewSolving equations in two variables can't be that much harder than solving equations in one variable. Using a balance interactive, scholars solve equations in two variables. They apply inverse operations by adding -x, -y, or -1 as...

New ReviewFind the right balance between concrete and abstract thinking. After using interactive balances to explore inverse operations, learners solve multi-step equations with variables on both sides. Of course, they can still use the...

New ReviewNot all interactives are made equal. Scholars use an interactive balance to explore the concept of equality. They place different objects on balances to determine the number of each object needed to balance the scale.

Determine a solution through accurate graphs. Using 2 examples, the narrator walks viewers through the steps to graph a system of linear equations to find the solution. 

Confirm the types of solutions by graphing. The video begins with a discussion on the number of solutions and the types of systems by looking at their graphs. Using several examples, the narrator shows the class how to find the solution...

Not all systems have a single solution. To begin the video, the narrator reviews the different number of solutions possible with a system of linear equations. He continues with examples of solving systems of equations by graphing. Unlike...

Systematically check a solution in a system. Given a point and a system, the presenter checks to see if the point is a solution to the system. Pupils understand what it means to be a solution to a system. The video shows both...

The solution resides at the intersection. Pupils use a short instructional activity to review the process of solving a system of linear equations using graphing. The instructional activity provides completed graphs for most of the items,...

Communication is the key. A dozen sample items require scholars to communicate their reasoning involved in arriving at a solution. The PowerPoint from the Gr. 8 Claim 2 - 4 Item Slide Shows series uses a variety of content to illicit...
