This document includes a warm-up exercise to support algebra tiles manipulatives for multiplying binomials and guided notes for using three methods when multiplying binomials (FOIL, Box Method, and Double distribute). There are graphic organizers for each method and there is ample space for students to show their steps and take notes. There is also a HW assignement including answer key.

In this activity, students work in pairs to investigate the sample space of the sum of rolling two dice. Then they conduct an experimental to see how their results compare. Graphs are made of the sample space, group results, and whole class results to see center clustering behavior as a probability distribution. (Bell Curve) The kids really like this activity. Great fun and motivation!

In this activity students measure their heart rate in beats per minute. The data is collected and organized in a frequency table then graphed in a histogram.

This packet/handout allows students plenty of room to take notes as they learn how to write a set using interval notation. The students solve simple and compound inequalities and write the solution set in interval notation and display it on a number line. I document is designed for a two-day lesson but it could be done in one day. There is also a homework assignment with answer key.

This lesson contains material to develop and apply the Laws of Exponents (Multiplication, Division, and Raising a Power to a Power). Printable handouts that students can easily take notes in. Guided practice and homework with answer key are provided.

This document includes a do-now, two examples for adding polynomials using algebra tiles, and five examples for adding polynomials by combining like terms. The classwork section provides space for student notetaking. There is also a homework section with answer key.

In this activity students work in pairs to predict the number of raisins in a box then compare their prediction to the actual amount. The data is recorded and made into a double-bar graph. An analysis of the data can be made using mean, median, mode, and range.

This packet/handout allows students plenty of room to take notes and contains a do-now, instructions for adding/subtracting radicals, class examples for guided practice, and a HW worksheet with answer key.

This packet/handout allows students plenty of room to take notes and contains a do-now, instructions for multiplying/dividing radicals, class examples for guided practice, and a HW worksheet with answer key.

This activity provides raw data organized in tables. Students are able to choose the best graph to display the data and provide reasons for their choice. There's also a sheet to consolidate notes on when to choose which graph.

This document includes a do-now, examples for subtracting polynomials by distributing the negative and combining like terms. The classwork section provides space for student notetaking. There is also a homework section with answer key.

Aligned with CCSS Algebra I. Includes Quad Formula, Completing the Sqaure, Solving Quadratics and Factoring

This file contains worksheets for creating circle graphs from raw data.

In this activity students flip coins and record the results to see how experimental probability approaches theoretical probability as the number of trials increases. A graph at the end shows the concept visually. Great motivation and fun!

This packet/handout allows students plenty of room to take notes as they learn an introduction to set theory (intersection, union, complement, null set). Contains 11 examples that can be used as a lesson.
