Multiple-step problems don't have to equal tough problems. This instructional activity provides a list of steps needed to go through multi-step equations that include combining like terms and distributing. With ten problems total, your...

In this single variable equations worksheet, students solve 5 problems using different equations to solve for one unknown. They use Hubble's Law to find the velocity of a galaxy knowing the distance it travels.

 Learners work through each of the 18 practice problems to build skills needed to solve linear equations with one variable.

Use the distributive property to solve equations. The sixth lesson in a 33-part series has scholars solve equations that need to be transformed into simpler equations first. Class members apply the distributive property to the equations...

Incorporate geometry into the solving linear equations lesson. Pupils use their knowledge of geometry to write linear equations which reinforces geometry measurement concepts while at the same time providing a familiar context for...

Middle schoolers solve 18 equations with a variable and an extra number operation. Example: 5 + 7f= 33.

In this rational equation worksheet, students solve 20 equations with a variable in the denominator of one more terms. They also read real-life application problems, write a rational equation to fit the problem and solve the equation....

This activity gets at the heart of algebraic reasoning and setting up equations with one variable to solve real-world problems. The worksheet has only one problem, but it requires that learners first use their own reasoning...

Show your class that not all equations are linear. The lesson asks learners to solve simple quadratic and cubic equations using square and cube roots. Problems include equations with no solutions. 

Just how far will the Facebook post go? Lead a discussion on how to manipulate the sum of a geometric series to figure out a formula to find the sum at any step. The plan contains an alternative to the discussion with more...

Here is a one-variable word problems worksheet in which learners complete word problems dealing with all four operations and one variable. They complete a total of 18 problems.

In this algebra worksheet, students solve word problems by rewriting it as an equations and solving for the unknown. There are 4 questions with an answer key.

Now that learners figured out how to solve for one variable, why not add another? The lesson demonstrates, through examples, how to solve a linear system using graphing, substitution, and elimination.

Now there are parentheses in these equations? As the lessons continue in this series, equations get progressively more complex. Eighth graders solve equations by applying the distributive property before using inverse operations. 

In this equations review activity, students solve algebraic equations with one variable.  They use inverse operations to solve for the unknown.  Students translate word sentences to number sentences and then solve.  This...

Challenge your mathematicians to simplify and solve a variety of different equations. This worksheet focuses on multi-step problems that begin with combining like terms and advance toward solving equations with variables on both sides. A...

Positive or negative, zero or no solution, are all possibilities for the solution of a linear equation. Here the resource gives examples of linear equations in one variable and their type of solutions. The resource comes with commentary...

Skills drills help math learners become adept at solving equations. This activity provides 15 simple linear equations with one variable each. Learners simply solve them. It should not take long, therefore you may want to keep this on...

Test your mathematicians' skills with a learning exercise full of decimals and equations. The problems start simple with one-step equations and work up to multi-step equations with variables on both sides. The top of the learning...

Model the effects of practice on texting speed. Pupils develop a linear equation that models the change in texting speed based on the amount of practice. The sixth performance task in an eight-part series requires learners to solve...

Where did all these variables come from, anyway? The previous lessons in the series ask learners to solve multi-step equations using the distributive property, combining like terms, and using inverse operations. Now scholars solve...

So many different ways to solve equations, so little time! Scholars learn how to solve equations with variables on both sides by using several different methods. They apply bar models, decomposition, and traditional algebraic methods to...

How do you make these x's get along? Building on the previous lesson in the series, learners solve equations by combining like terms. The video uses objects to help pupils understand the concept. 

Where did all the variables go? Scholars learn how to interpret an equation when they eliminate all variables during the solving process. They interpret the solution as infinite solutions or no solutions.
