Ensure your classes aren't drowning in expressions. An interactive simulation has scholars change the depth of a fish based on the coefficient of terms. As they add the terms together, the fish bobs up and down until reaching the answer.

Investigate the process of combining like terms using an interactive animation. Scholars tackle simplifying expressions by manipulating rectangles that represent the terms. They add and subtract terms to arrive at the result.

Model expression division using online manipulatives. Learners drag C's representing a term into equal groups. Guiding questions help them see their groups as the division of the term.

Alphabet soup just got an upgrade. Pupils drag expressions from algebraic soup to indicate whether it is a like term to x or to y. Some challenge questions require combining the like terms to simplify expressions.

Students will use the distributive property to simply expressions by removing parentheses from the expression. Like terms will then be combined to completely simplify the expression.

Exponent properties can be complicated for learners. A creative lesson seeks to simplify the concept and build a solid understanding. Young mathematicians have the opportunity to create numerous expressions and analyze the simplified...

Investigate division within an algebraic term using an inquiry-based lesson. Individuals adjust sliders and watch as the simplification of the term changes. Questions help guide them to important conclusions.

In this Algebra I worksheet, 9th graders solve linear equations in which like variable terms must be combined. The one page interactive worksheet contains fifteen problems. Answers and a hint are provided. 

Learn about the origins of algebra when you travel to Baghdad in the 9th century. You will have algebra problems to solve by moving terms around and simplifying numbers, until you have just the value of the variable left.
