Transform your Algebra 1 instruction with this comprehensive set of student-friendly guided notes, perfect for breaking down challenging concepts into manageable lessons. Covering seven key units— Properties of Exponents, Radical Expressions, Operations with Polynomials, Factoring Quadratic Expressions, Solving Quadratic Equations, Graphing Quadratic Functions, and Linear and Nonlinear Inequalities—this resource is packed with ample examples and clear explanations that your students will love.
After learning all the methods for solving Quadratic Equations, I like to use this resource to help students determine which method is appropriate for the given equation.
This fun Color Splash scavenger hunt contains 15 quadratic equations. Some can be solved using square roots, some can be solved by factoring, and some contain irrational solutions requiring the Quadratic Formula or completing the square. This activity is for review after students are familiar with all the methods for solving quadratic equations. Included in this activity is a flowchart for helping students choose an appropriate method. This activity includes an answer key for teachers and a reco
Three trifold brochures for Graphic Organizers for Factoring Quadratics, Graphing Quadratics, and Solving Quadratic Equations. Teacher answer keys are included. Light gray guide lines for folding.
Guided Notes for the entire first semester of Algebra 1. There are 6 Units covered in the notebook: 1. Foundations & Functions 2. Solving Equations 3. Rate-of-Change 4. Graphing Linear Functions 5. Writing Linear Functions 6. Solving Systems of Linear Equations 7. Sequences and Exponential Functions. 106 pages. I printed this document two-sided and spiral bound it together for my students. Alternatively, one could print them one unit at a time and three-hole punch and stable per unit.
This scavenger hunt contains 22 problems for simplifying radical expressions. Problems include simplifying, adding radicals, multiplying radicals, and rationalizing the denominator. It also include problems that apply the Pythagorean Theorem.
Guided Notes for Determining if the relation is a function. Relations are represented as ordered pairs, tables, graphs, and mapping diagrams. Check out my store for the PowerPoint presentation that goes with the notes. The PowerPoint is programmed for each part to show up upon your click.
Guided notes for the Quadratic Formula. Check out the beautiful PowerPoint Presentation that goes with this notes guide. There are three examples on these notes. The first example is in standard form and has rational answers. The second example is in standard form and has irrational answers. The third example is not in standard form and has irrational answers.
