This activity looks at writing expressions to represent perimeter of a rectangle and then considers the concept of equivalent expressions and the distributive property in more detail. 

This all-encompassing lesson plan immerses your math class in the world of algebraic expressions. Written details are provided to guide you in guiding them to identify the parts of an expression and simplify them. Sample problems are...

Learners of many ages use the Visual Thesaurus to help them understand the language of math. They work in groups to explore the multiple meanings of common math terms. Pupils come up with examples of the words in mathematical and other...

In this equal expressions worksheet, students match a set of expressions and improper fractions to their corresponding fractions or mixed numbers. Answers included on page 2. A reference web site is given for additional activities. 

In this expressions worksheet, students match one set of expressions in a column with the expression in column 2 that has the same answer. 

In this adding and subtracting rational expressions worksheet, students perform the indicated operations and simplify forty-four expressions.  These problems involve unlike denominators.

In this problem solving worksheet, 3rd graders write and evaluate an expression to solve each of 6 word problems. They work with monetary amounts and whole numbers.

In this expression comparison worksheet, students solve 14 pairs of expressions to determine whether they are greater than, less than , or equal to one another. Students also respond to 2 word problems.

In this expressions and operations worksheet, 9th graders solve and complete 20 different problems that include various polynomials. First, they simplify each polynomial and write the answer in simplest form. Then, students match that...

It's all about lines when going around. Pupils graph the relationship between the length of a side of a square and its perimeter. Class members explain the origin in context of the side length and perimeter. They compare the graph to the...

Polynomial multiplication and factoring go hand in hand. Why not teach them together. This resource begins with an area model for distributing a monomial and then connects the process to factoring the GCF. Learners then advance to...

Can your mathematicians come up with an easy way to convert miles to kilometers? Start by asking learners to write an algebraic expression for each of the descriptions given. Once they determine that they are both the same, ask...

Find the faster rate. The resource tasks the class to compare proportional relationships represented in different ways. Pupils find the slope of the proportional relationships to determine the constant rates. They then analyze the...

Apply the power of mathematics to the power expressions. The lesson gives examples of expressions that utilize each of the exponent rules to simplify. Once seeing the exponent rules individually, scholars combine them to simplify an...

Explore the process of simplifying square roots through an analysis of perfect squares. The fourth lesson of 25 expects individuals to find the perfect square factors in each radicand as a means of simplifying. The perfect square factor...

Scholars learn how to write number theory proofs by viewing a video reviewing techniques for proofs on divisibility, parity, and consecutive integers. They then write proofs for a handful of conjectures on a activity.

Roll a log into an equivalent expression. Given four expanded logarithmic expressions, pupils write an equivalent condensed expression. They identify which properties allows for the simplification.

Transform your lesson for transforming functions. Scholars transform linear, quadratic, exponential, rational, and trigonometric expressions. They write their expressions to fit specific forms and identify the values of the resulting...

Your learners will get plenty of practice calculating expressions remembering to use order of operations in this worksheet.

It's always nice to hear from friends. Your budding mathematicians read letters from pen pals and convert customary measurements into metric units and vice versa. They also write letters to an imaginary pen pal using metric units.

Play a game of capture the points. Young scholars receive a number line with specific points graphed and must write an inequality that captures all the points. The second task of the algebra project is to write an inequality with...

Balloons aren't just for little kids; they can teach important math concepts, too. Individuals use an interactive to continue a color pattern with balloons. They continue the pattern and write a mathematical expression to represent the...

What's in a triangle? Just 180 degrees worth of angles! Young learners use given angle relationships in a triangle to write an algebraic representation. Using a system of equations, they simplify the equation to a linear representation.

Algebra learners explore the concept of writing equations using rational expressions. This work sheet contains a number of word problems including reciprocal number problems, work problems, and problems can that be solved using...
