The example of two travelers meeting somewhere along the road has been a stereotypical joke about algebra as long as algebra has existed. Here in this detailed presentation, this old trope gets a careful and approachable treatment....

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. 

In this rational number worksheet, students add and subtract fractions containing variables. They find common denominators and solve for the unknown. This four-page worksheet contains eighteen problems. Answers are listed on the last...

Review basic algebraic rules of addition of integers. Then have the class define a variable and explore methods of solving equations with one variable. They observe solving expressions using inverse operations and simplifying solutions....

How do you solve for a variable? This slideshow provides definitions, key concepts, and guided practice to teach learners how to solve literal equations for a specified 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...

A cross-curricular resource teaches and reinforces mathematical concepts with several activities that use parts of a newspaper. Scholars use scavenger hunts to find the different ways math is used in the paper along with using data...

Provide class members with an opportunity to practice reasoning. A resource contains six skill-based items aligned to the Common Core. The items require pupils to reason abstractly and attend to precision.

Here is a linear equations activity which invites learners to subtract a whole number value from both sides of the equal sign to find the value of X for fourteen problems.

This nicely organized worksheet provides eight problems for your learners to practice solving linear equations. Starting with two-step problems and working up to multi-step equations, young mathematicians are instructed to write their...

Time to practice linear equations. The sectioned worksheet starts with simple linear problems and increases to multi-step and rational coefficient problems. 

I'm a fan of clearing the denominator, but solvers can also find common denominators and cross multiply to solve the linear equations on the worksheet. Each of the six problems has rational coefficients.

To find x, you have to get it by itself, correct? Individuals solve a linear word problem and share their solutions with others that solved the problem in a similar fashion. They then complete a self-assessment on how they feel about...

Help pupils to determine whether using square roots is the method of choice when solving quadratic equations by presenting a lesson that begins with a dropped object example and asks for a solution. This introduction to solving by...
