A fun and easy Algebra project to your unit on simplifying algebraic expressions! Students will create their own algebraic expressions to simplify with combining like terms, the distributive property, exponent rules (product rule, quotient rule, and power rule), and by multiplying binomials/FOIL or box method, and will evaluate expressions for different values! They'll be able to create and design/decorate a calendar to share all their information! The project includes a rubric and a planning sh

The bundle includes 8 blank graphic organizers and 3 cheat sheets to help cover common STAAR-tested and Algebra TEK aligned concepts. All have been used with Algebra 1 classes including remediation classes, SPED inclusion classes, resource classes, and classes with LEP/EB students. The bundle includes all of the resources to support students with Domain & Range in inequality form, Linear Inequalities, Linear and Quadratic transformations, Multiplying Binomials (FOIL method), converting from Stan

This winter & Christmas holiday themed project is a great way for students to use their understanding of linear functions to create a real-world vacation plan & budget. The project is a great end of semester or final project to use before students leave on break, and is a great way to practice skills after finals (or to be used as a final grade!). Students have to build understanding of slope, intercepts, linear equations (slope-intercept form), writing equations from real world scenarios and wo

Students will plan a summer vacation trip for this algebra project! They'll have to do their own research to find flight costs, hotel costs, activities (and their costs) and write slope-intercept equations, create tables, calculate with rates, and determine the true costs of their vacation plan! But, there's a catch - they'll also have to figure out how to pay for it by researching summer jobs in their hometowns and will use their algebra skills to determine how fast they can pay for their trips

The graphic organizer/flow chart activity helps students explore and understand key features and multiple representations of linear functions. Students are able to convert from standard form to slope-intercept form, and use slope-intercept form to determine X & Y-intercepts, slope, parallel & perpendicular slopes, recognize transformations from the parent function, graph and create tables from functions. Works great as a warm-up, exit-ticket, individual assignment, or a whole-group activity.

A fun and easy project to practice finding slope from graphs, writing linear equations in slope-intercept form, and fining domain and range in inequality notation. Easy, low-prep project to use for winter semester final exam grades or end of semester project before Christmas break! The winter theme is a great way to incorporate a seasonal flair throughout December, January, and February! Students will be able to create their own snowflake designs using various lines and explore the key features

This is an easy real-world activity to help students recognize the connection between their algebra skills and real-world applications. Students have two options for the activity ("food delivery dilemma" or "classroom cost challenge") and will research real-life costs and fees associated with their regular purchases! They get to utilize their research to create linear functions (specifically in slope-intercept form for this activity), build function tables from their equations, solve linear equa

The Algebra Alphabet project is an easy, low-prep project for students that works great for the end of the semester or end of the year (especially after testing!). Students will find as many algebra-related vocabulary words or phrases as they can for each letter of the alphabet, then select one term for each letter to find the definitions and provide examples or illustrations. The project is broken down by day (students brainstorm words on 1st day, find definitions and create examples on the 2nd

This graphic organizer is a quick and easy guide to help students understand the basics of graphing linear inequalities and recognize what the inequality symbols mean in linear functions. Works great as an intro to the linear inequality unit, and as a useful resource for review (or STAAR review!). It works well as a warm-up activity to see what students remember and can be used as a mini-anchor chart/poster, or laminated sheet, for students to reference in class through the unit. Helpful tool in

A vocabulary scavenger hunt covering 30 different STAAR Algebra 1 content vocab words related to linear functions, quadratic functions, exponential functions, graphing, and key features! The scavenger hunt student recording sheet provides kid-friendly definitions to help them find the words that match the definitions and their examples (I provide examples, but you could also have kids create their own examples as well) places around the hallway or classroom walls. I recommend putting the vocab w

Graphic organizer (with key!) for quadratic transformations! Easy to use with interactive journals, as an anchor chart, or for review with quadratics. Simple guided notes to demonstrate the transformations (from quadratic vertex form) for reflections, stretches and compressions, and horizontal and vertical shifts of quadratic graphs from their equations. Completed key version also works great for students who receive completed notes and has been a great tool with remediation algebra students!

Easy to use graphic organizer to guide students through solving for Y when converting from Standard Form to Slope-Intercept form for Linear functions. The organizer utilizes the "McD" method (Move & Change X then Divide) to help students remember the steps with an extra mnemonic device! Helpful for providing extra supports for students who need them to support differentiated learning and requires no prep! A video on the method is available on my Youtube and TikTok channels (@miss_algebra!).

Easy Graphic Organizer (with answer key) for student notes to easily demonstrate linear transformations! The organizer helps students identify changes in steepness of slow, direction of slow, and vertical and horizontal shifts/translations (changes to the y-intercept) from linear equations. Can be used a pre-filled reference sheet for differentiation or as notes for student journals - or even just as an easy extra guide to keep in class! Also useful for test prep to help students approaching mid

Blank graphic organizer set for FOIL method to multiply binomials. Includes 3 different versions of the organizer - each with whole page and 4 per page options, and a completed example of how to use. Can be used in interactive journals or used in dry erase pockets for students to reuse.
