This is a great resource to explain to students how to collect like terms, add polynomials and subtract polynomials. I use this as a reference handout for students or enlarged as an anchor chart. Enjoy!

This solving equations placemat could be laminated and used to guide students through solving multi-step equations. I have included an example that could be on the back for them to refer to as they use the placemat in their own practice. Gradually remove the prompts and have them solve the same equations. Enjoy!

This trigonometry mind map helps students when choosing the appropriate strategy to solve trig problems. Print this as an anchor chart or provide as a graphic organizer for students individual use. Enjoy!

This graphic organizer lays out the steps required to complete the square turning a standard form quadratic equation into the vertex form. Students can follow the steps in words or the guided steps example. This is great to enlarge and post as an anchor chart or print individually for students to refer to during practice. Enjoy!

Use this formula sheet to assist students in applying financial applications to solve problems. This could also be enlarged and printed as an anchor chart for a classroom. The space that says "Look for" I have students pencil in key words that you may encounter that direct you to use that formula (such as compounded, payments/multiple deposits, deposit now, want in the future ...). ENJOY!

In times that students are permitted to use DESMOS to check their answers or during EQAO testing these are great posters to have. ENJOY!

I have these problem solving placemats printed and laminated for my classes to use while practicing multiple choice problems for grade 9 EQAO. This gives the students a place to start when stuck when solving multiple choice. I include the grid on the back because one strategy to solve word problems could be to graph the information. Enjoy!
