How I Teach Combining Like Terms

Created by

Kevin Wilda

This is a 31 page Smartboard lesson. The lesson starts out explaining what terms are. From there the students learn how to recognize students that are alike. The lesson proceeds with teaching how to combine simple like terms and progresses to more complex like terms. Also included in the lesson are examples where the student first uses the distributive property and then combines the like terms. Each example page includes the answers.

Alg 1 - Visualize Radicals with the Geoboard

Created by

Help students visual the relationship between a square and a square root by having them build squares on a 11 by 11 peg geoboard. Have them observe that the square root of the area of a square is always equal to the length of the side of the square. Use this concept to build understanding for the size of the square root of 2, 8, 18, through 200. This is 1 of 9 Smartboard Files designed to deliver lessons on working with radical expressions. This is #1 of 9.1. Visualize Radicals with the Geob

Slope and Y-Intercept Jeopardy

Created by

Ryan Cropper

Divide your class into teams and let them compete as they review the concepts of linear equations! This interactive Smart Notebook file has 5 categories with 5 questions per category. The questions ask students to find the slope and y-intercept of linear equations given equations, tables, graphs, word problems or to construct a graph given an equation. All questions have the answer hidden on the slide to make checking answers or revealing work to the class quick and easy! Sit back and relax

Factoring With Algebra Tiles

Created by

Crazy For Algebra

This SMART Notebook file leads through two Algebra lessons on factoring polynoials with Algebra tiles. The first lesson uses tiles to factor out a monomial from a polynomial (also called factoring out a GCF or Greatest Common Factor). The second lesson uses tiles to factor quadratic trinomials. Notes are provided on how I use them in my classroom.

Solving Inequality Review Grudgeball Game

Created by

Sarah Ethington

This game reviews concepts with solving inequalities, including multi-step inequalities, compound, and absolute value inequalities. The game allows the students to work in teams and when the team answered a problem correctly, they get the opportunity to shoot a basket. If the basket is made, the team can either add a point or take away a point from a different team. All answers are included and all slides are linked together.

Solving Equations on the Smartboard

Created by

Crazy For Algebra

This SMART Notebook file for Smartboard is a lesson designed for a Pre-Algebra or Algebra class that is learning to solve equations. There are four pages of Algebra balances and Algebra tiles that are used to model progressively more difficult equations, beginning with one-step and ending with equations that have variables on both sides. Two pages of notes for students (one for Pre-Algebra and a more advanced version for Algebra) are also included.

Introduction to Quadratics!- with Application

Created by

Rebecca Taylor

I don't typically begin teaching a new concept with an application, but this problem offers so many layers that it works really well. Students split up into groups or pairs and determine the area of various rectangular houses based on a set perimeter and a given width. Already this requires some strategy and problem solving. Then as a class, they collect and organize their data in a graph and a table. You can then use the graph to introduce new vocabulary (parabola, vertex, axis of symmetry,

Introduction to Slope Activity

Algebra Fun

I use this in my Algebra 1 class to introduce slope. I start out with a story about my "first skiing experience." I explain how when I was on the ski lift it was fun and I had a "positive experience." Then I was going way too fast down the hill and my feelings were very negative. Then I got to the bottom and I was cruising and I had 0 feelings. Then there was a small cliff at the end that I did not notice and my feelings were undefined as I was falling.My students absolutely love this story
