Helping Students Learn Math

This file includes almost everything needed to teach Algebra 1. It includes first day activities, final exam reviews, quizzes, activities, guided notes, scaffolded materials, bingo games, and more. Some of the main topics covered include solving equations, combining like terms, distributive property, linear equations, exponential equations, FOIL, exponents, literal equations and more.

This unit plan is ideal for algebra 1 or pre-algebra. It includes a ton of information and printable worksheets that can be used for daily instruction. The format of each notes includes space for a bell ringer, guided notes, independent practice and exit tickets. Unit plans include topics like combining like terms, distributive property, simplifying expressions, integers, evaluating expressions, order of operations, and solving equations. It includes everything a teacher needs to be successful f

This contains two sets of notes with practice problems for students to try on their own. The notes are created using Cornell notes/ AVID templates in order to promote note taking skills and higher order thinking and questioning. The notes cover two topics, including converting from standard form of an equation to slope intercept of an equation and solving systems of equations using substitution. The notes are editable on Word. If you like these notes, please follow the channel so I can add mo

This PDF file includes an abundance of Algebra 1 review questions to help prepare students for the final exam. The review covers almost all Algebra 1 standards, including solving equations, graphing, solving systems, patterns of growth, exponents, literal equations, inequalities, and more.

These notes are ideal for teaching FOIL/box method. Notes include both word to be printed for student use and a set of notes to use on the Smartboard. Answers are also included (both using FOIL and Box Method). Notes start with a bell ringer involving distributive property, introduces new vocabulary and then gives guided/independent practice.

This set of Cornell / AVID notes can help students answer higher order thinking questions and enhance their note-taking skills. The first set of notes helps students understand how to solve inequalities and graph them on a number line. The second set of notes helps students graph inequalities and see the differences between how equations and inequalities are graphed. The questioning scaffolds to cover all necessary information students need to be successful. These notes are editable.

These notes help teachers and students make connections between pictures, scenarios, tables, graphs and equations for algebra. This step by step guide helps ensure better logic and problem solving skills for students to make appropriate connections.

This introduction to what exponential functions are is a great way for students to see how it differs from a linear or quadratic function. Students are able to take guided notes and see the differences in exponential tables and equations.

This set of notes is ideal for teaching FOIL / box method. It contains important vocabulary, practice and independent practice.
