This worksheet includes 17 examples on adding and subtracting linear expressions. Examples include coefficients that are either integers, fractions, or decimals. Besides providing practice for combining like terms and simplifying expressions, this also serves as a great review for integer, fraction and decimal operations when negatives are involved. It also includes a few examples about using expressions to find perimeter.

In this lesson, students will first review how to identify and solve proportions. The lesson then covers the definitions for scale drawings, scale and scale factor and real world examples for all. Students will then be guided through examples examples on how to find scale factor and how to use scale to find a missing length. Many visuals are provided throughout the lesson so that students can get a better understanding of how scale is used in the world around them. This lesson can be paired wi

This product includes guided notes for converting decimals to fractions and fractions to decimals. Students may record the definitions for rational numbers, terminating decimals and repeating decimals and place examples of each type of decimal in a table. Also included is a place value chart which will help when writing decimals as fractions, as well as a benchmark fractions table for common fractions/decimals. This product is perfect for guiding students through a mini-lesson and keeping thei

This worksheet includes several word problems requiring students to create addition and subtraction numerical expressions using integers. All problems relate to differences in elevation.

Students will work in pairs to complete Adding and Subtracting Integers Practice. One student will be Partner 1, the other being Partner 2. The problems are slightly more difficult for Partner 2 but the solutions for each row are the same. Each partner will work on 5 problems individually on different problems and then check in with each other to see if their answers match. If their answers don’t match, then students must work together to determine what went wrong. Summary questions are incl

Students will work in pairs to complete this differentiated Scale Drawings Practice. One student will be Partner 1, the other being Partner 2. The problems are slightly more difficult for Partner 2 but the solutions for each row are the same. Each partner will work on 4 problems individually on different problems and then check in with each other to see if their answers match. If their answers don’t match, then students must work together to determine what went wrong. Two summary questions a

Here is a curriculum map for 7th grade, which includes a breakdown by unit with topics and standards listed. Also included is what additional 8th and 9th (Algebra 1) standards to cover with a 7th grade honors class.

In this smartboard lesson, students will review how to graph lines from an equation in y=mx+b, or slope-intercept form. First students will review how to graph a line using a table by substituting in values. Then, they will practice graphing a line by first identifying the y-intercept and then using the slope to graph several more points. A real-life application problem is also included, as well as examples where either the y-intercept or slope is zero.

This worksheet starts off with a graphic organizer for students to explain their steps for solving several multi-step equations. Then, there are two pages of word problems that require students to write and solve either an equation or inequality. The difficulty increases through the problems.
