New ReviewDo not let the pressure get to you. After watching a video on calculating values using the pressure formula, pupils work problems on two worksheets. The problems range from finding the pressure, the force, or the area given the other two...

New ReviewTry to find an estimate when the exact answer is not clear. Using the General Certificate of Secondary Education Math review resource, pupils learn how to find an estimate to a cubic equation. Class members use the trial-and-improvement...

New ReviewUse the same procedures, just with rational numbers. The resource builds upon scholars' ability to solve linear equations that involve rational numbers. Pupils solve one-step, two-step and multi-step equations in the review for the...

Isolation is the name of the game. Working with an equation that has parentheses on one side of the equation, the resource shows the steps to find the solution. The solution process starts with distributing across the parentheses and...

An equation has parentheses on both sides of the equation, including a need to use the distributive property and recall the order of operations. The resource works through the steps to isolate the variable and finds the solution to the...

Oh no, there are decimals! A resource shows a method to solve a two-step equation that contains decimals. Using a process of clearing the decimals, the presenter converts the equation into a basic two-step equation with whole numbers. At...

With two examples, the presenter shows how to solve a two-step linear equation that contains decimals. Prior to solving the first example, the presentation reviews the steps to solving any two-step linear equation. The examples require...

Shouldn't the variable be on only one side? Using one equation, the resource shows how to solve an equation in which there are variable terms on both sides of the equation. The short video walks through each step needed to isolate the...

Multiple parentheses, oh my! Using an equation with parentheses on both sides of the equal sign, the video demonstrates the steps to solve it. The resource works through each step to isolate the variable to arrive at a solution. Once...

Introduce young mathematicians to a different kind of two step. Using four different equations, the resource reinforces the steps to solving a two-step linear equation. The video works each problem and demonstrates how to isolate the...

Evaluate an expression or solve an equation—two very different tasks! A video tutorial begins by defining an expression and an equation and then discusses the similarities and differences between the two. The instructor also demonstrates...

Math requires strength training, too. Scholars consider three different pricing systems for a gym. Given several scenarios, they determine which gym would be cheaper and find how many visits it takes for the costs to be equal.

Here's the solution to your equation-solving needs. An informative YouTube video discusses how to determine whether a value is a solution to a one-step equation. It then goes on to solve these types of equations using addition or...

The concept of equality can be harder to understand than it seems. Help your classes by showing a video on the concept of equal expression. Of course, equal expressions create an equation, and that is the conclusion scholars make by the...
