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 graphic organizer covers simplifying square roots, solving quadratic equations by using inverse operations, solving by factoring, and solving with the quadratic formula. I use this as a review activity. A student version and teacher (filled in)version are included.
These guided notes are for solving quadratic equations by completing the square with a = 1. There is a beautiful PowerPoint to go with these guided notes in my store.
