Teach and practice factoring and expanding linear expressions using the distributive property and greatest common factor (GCF).
Move from finding an unknown in an equation to describing which values satisfy an inequality. The practice collection includes equation solving, selecting solutions from candidate values and solving inequalities, with supplied answers and working for review. Assign small blocks over several lessons, using the selection tasks to discuss why an inequality can describe a set of values.
A self-checking one-step equations worksheet where solving each equation reveals letters that spell out a hidden message.
Writing Linear Equations Guided Notes and Homework Set This 9-12th grade math resource teaches students to write linear equations through guided notes and applied practice. Students will fill out an interactive worksheet to learn step-by-step how to write linear equations. An answer key is provided for educators to check work. After…
This resource covers applying the properties of operations to generate equivalent expressions applying the distributive property to expression to produce equivalent expressions, and applying order of operations to produce the equivalent expression . It also includes learning to identify when two expressions are equivalent regardless of…
Guided notes and practice teaching students to set up and solve systems-of-equations word problems in slope-intercept and standard form, aligned to CCSS.MATH.CONTENT.8.EE.C.8 and 8.EE.C.8.C.
Give students practice factoring polynomials completely.
A leveled worksheet for practicing solving multi-step linear inequalities, with increasing independence across four problem sets.
A balance-scale visual model walks students through nine one-step and two-step algebra equations, using bags marked n for the unknown and individual cubes for known quantities so that removing or dividing cubes on both sides mirrors the operation needed to isolate the variable. Three worksheet pages progress from simple one-step problems such as 6 = 2 + n into two-step equations, then into two word problems where students sketch a cube scenario before writing and solving the matching equation. A ninth prompt has students draw their own scenario and write and solve an original equation. A full answer key on the final page shows the worked steps for all eight structured problems, and the title page suggests pairing the sheet with paper bags and cubes for a hands-on class demonstration.
Writing Linear Equations (from Tables) - Leveled Checking Worksheet This math resource allows high school algebra students to practice writing linear equations from tables. The leveled worksheet features 4 problem sets that increase in rigor to challenge students' skills. Early sets have an answer bank for students to match their work.…
Teach students to verify and solve systems of linear equations, including recognizing no-solution and infinite-solution cases.
Factoring Trinomials When A is Greater Than 1 Color by Numbers allows students to practice an essential algebra skill - factoring trinomials - in an engaging way. With twelve trinomial factoring problems that each connect to a section of a color by number image, students factor trinomial expressions and identify the corresponding color to shade. This…
A self-checking printable/digital pixel-art-style activity for practicing solving one-step inequalities with positive and negative integers.
A 26-page worksheet packet of multi-step linear equation problems with variables on both sides, requiring students to show all work.
Teaches grade 4-5 students to write and solve one-step equations (using missing-number boxes instead of variables) representing real-life word-problem scenarios.
A math coloring-by-answer worksheet where students practice combining like terms (simplifying algebraic expressions) and use their answers to color a hidden picture.
Guided notes and homework assignments teaching how to graph linear inequalities, including standard-form inequalities and real-world application problems.
Solve one-step (integer) equations and show work; correct answers unlock/reveal a mystery picture in the linked Google Sheet.

Word-problem practice setting up and solving systems of equations, usable as task cards, small-group work, or a whole-class game.
Solving Quadratic Equations by Factoring Worksheet Level 1 is a practice resource where students solve quadratic equations by factoring. They match their answers to a provided answer bank for immediate feedback. In this introductory level 1 worksheet, students solve 24 quadratic equations where a=1. Some equations are in standard form while others are…
Math practice on solving and graphing one-variable inequalities (CCSS 6.EE.5, 6.EE.6, 6.EE.8).
This worksheet has graphs and the students need to find equations of the form y=mx and y=mx+b. There is also one concept understanding task where students have to fill in a text about parallel lines, congruent angles and proportion.
Give partners different algebraic expressions designed to reach the same simplified result. One sheet focuses on the distributive property and another on combining like terms. Students compare answers and, when they differ, explain their working before moving on. A completed reference supports checking after the discussion. The format makes reasoning aloud part of the practice.
