Students simplify linear equations. In this algebra lesson, students solve equations by addition and subtraction. They solve one step equations to practice isolating the variable on one side of the equation.

Provide guidance and practice of the useful skill: solving rational equations using both an algebraic and graphical approach. Pupils solve increasingly more difficult rational equations using algebraic methods. After, they...

Students solve linear equations using two steps. In this algebra lesson, students add, subtract, multiply and divide to solve linear equations. They apply concepts of equations to a robot pulling cargo.

Students explore numbers patterns and write equations to describe the pattern. They apply the equations to further the patterns.

Pupils learn to solve square root equations and rationalize denominators. Problems include those with extraneous solutions. 

Not all resources are created equal — and your class benefits! Scholars learn how to solve one-step inequalities using inverse operations. They complete an activity matching inequalities to their solutions.

There is no substitute for checking the solution. A short introduction to the substitution method of solving systems of equations is an ideal resource for algebra classes. The slides present steps for the substitution method and...

In this solving linear equations activity, students combine like terms to solve 9 equations. Students solve 8 proportion problems by cross multiplying.

Taxi! Have your travelers figure out how far they can go in a taxi for $10.00. They must account for the mileage rate and tip in their calculation. They can set up a table or make an equation to solve for the exact mileage they can...

Strive to think outside of the quadrilateral parallelogram. Worksheet includes two problems applying prior knowledge of area and perimeter to parallelograms and trapezoids. The focus is on finding and utilizing the proper formula and...

Create a linear equation for a problem when the intercept information is not given. The two-day lesson introduces the class to the point-slope form, which can be used for problems when the initial conditions are not provided. Pupils...

What percent of the mixture is juice? Pairs use their knowledge of proportions to determine what percent a mixture is juice given the percent of juice in the components. Pupils use the procedure learned with the juice mixture problem to...

Here is a great set of eight scenarios that require the writing of a one-variable inequality and then solving to find the solution. This inequality word problem activity is then followed by the solutions to each of the eight problems.

Just when a young mathematician starts to feel comfortable turning word problems into linear equations, shake things up and throw inequalities in the mix. This excellent, instructive presentation takes the steps for solving an...

This worksheet offers six problems to practice solving simultaneous equations using the method of elimination. Start with systems that require multiplying only one of the equations. Then move to systems which require multiplying both...

Practice solving linear systems of three equations with three unknowns using the elimination method and substitution method. This handout includes graphics of different combinations of intersecting planes to help illustrate the different...

Use this instructional activity for practice or review solving linear equations in one variable. Problems range from multiple-step problems involving parentheses and combining like terms, to word problems, to equations with no solution...

Scholars identify and continue the numerical pattern for the number of wheels on a train. Using the established pattern and its inverse, they determine whether a number of wheels is possible. Pupils finish...

Find the percent of the population that meets the criteria. The 17th segment of a 20-part unit presents problems that involve percents of a population. Pupils use tape diagrams to create equations to find the percents of subgroups...
