Practice and Skills Test

This two page activity contains 32 problems to solve. There are examples given for each set of problems. The first set is to work on adding or subtracting a term to get the variable by itself. The second set is about dividing both sides...

In this writing equations worksheet, students find the equation of a line containing specified points. They determine the slope of a line from given points. This two-page worksheet contains 20 problems. Examples and explanations are...

Teach solving equations through an exploration of properties. Before pupils solve equations they manipulate them to produce equivalent equations. The activity switches the focus from finding a solution to applying properties correctly.

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. 

When guess and check gets old, it's time to start graphing! An instructive lesson explains how to solve a system of linear equations using graphing. Equations are in both slope-intercepts and standard form. 

One thing that puzzles a lot of young algebrists is the factors in a word problem that are taken as "understood". This presentation on solving systems of linear inequalities does a great job walking the learner through how to tease those...

You have a slope and a given point and now you have to graph it. Begin by drawing a graph and then plotting the given point. Remember that slope is rise over run. So from the given point move the appropriate spaces to plot the next...

You have a slope and a given point and now you have to graph it. Begin by drawing a graph and then plotting the given point. Remember that slope is rise over run. So, from the given point move the appropriate spaces to plot the next...

Given a table of x and y values, is it possible to write a linear equation from this information? There will be several steps involved. First is to use the point-slope formula to find a slope. Then use that slope and one of the ordered...

Can it be determined if a given point satisfies the equation and is thus a point on the line of the graph? So given a coordinate point, plug the values into the equation and solve. If the solution is true, then the given point lies on...
