Algebraic expressions activities

This blog post teaches pre-algebra and algebra teachers how to introduce students to variables and expressions. The blog post includes a free resource with four worksheets and picture tiles to give students a hands-on learning activity. #variablesandexpressions #algebra #prealgebra

I just realized that I have not shared a foldable with you since June! Yikes! So here is a foldable I made for algebraic expressions. One day I saw a worksheet somewhere, I can't remember where,

Free Algebraic Expressions Worksheet where the students must solve problems that will help then work their way through a maze!

Bingo is a great algebraic equations activity to help middle school math students practice! They're engaged and focused on solving equations.

This is a very simple matching activity where students are given a bunch of algebraic expressions (in one variable) and simplified expressions (both in algebraic and algebra tile form) and all they have to do is match up each expression with their simplified form. This is not meant to be a long or complex activity and could best be used as a warm up or end of class review or possibly just in the middle of a long class to switch up the period. MPM1D - add and subtract polynomials with up to…

Simplifying expressions by combining like terms is foundational for algebra and all future math. Check out these great tips!

Help students develop their understanding of variables and expressions using real-world problems with variables.

This is a very simple sorting activity where students are given expressions and the sentence to describe them and have to match them up. This is meant to be an activity that is relatively quick. There are four sorts that are all very similar to each other so you may wish to break students up into groups and assigning different sorts to each group. Each sort is self checking and will indicate to the student if they have been sorted correctly For a the more traditional "hands on" version click…

Don't assume your algebra students can do the four things that I feel are the key to understanding algebraic expressions. These skills are needed to be able to solve equations and inequalities, so I believe in taking the time to cover this math building block at the beginning of the year. Click to read futher to see what is important in an algebraic expression lesson for your algebra class. Take care of these things at the beginning so your students are ready to move forward.
