This number sense lesson focuses on simplifying radical expressions. The lesson includes research-based strategies and strategic questions that prepare students for assessments. In this lesson, students read the radical expression and identify the radicand. Then, they find the prime factors of the radical expression and rewrite it as the product of prime factors of the radicand. Finally, they simplify the radical expression and interpret the solution. In addition to the lesson, there are four pages of Independent Practice and review with questions modeled after current adaptive testing items.

This Algebra 1 lesson teaches students how to solve multi-step equations. The lesson includes research-based strategies and strategic questions that prepare students for assessments. Students will simplify each expression if needed. Then, they will isolate the variable terms on one side of the equation and the numerical terms on the other side. Finally, they will solve for the variable and interpret the solution. In addition to the lesson, there are three pages of Independent Practice and six pages of periodic review as well as three assessment questions based on the Common Core tests.

This Algebra 1 lesson teaches students how to compute the x- and y-intercepts to graph a linear equation. The lesson includes research-based strategies and strategic questions that prepare students for assessments. Students will compute the x-intercept and y-intercept by substituting zero appropriately and solving. Then, they will plot the x- and y-intercepts, and finally graph and label the linear equation. In addition to the lesson, there are two pages of Independent Practice and six pages of periodic review.

This Algebra 1 lesson teaches students how to verify that an ordered pair is the solution to a linear equation. The lesson includes research-based strategies and strategic questions that prepare students for assessments. Students will identify the linear equation, and verify if the ordered pair is a solution by substituting values into the linear equation and evaluating. Finally, they will plot the point on the coordinate plane and interpret the result both algebraically and graphically. In addition to the lesson, there is one page of Independent Practice and three pages of periodic review.

This Algebra 1 lesson teaches students how to solve inequalities involving absolute values. The lesson includes research-based strategies and strategic questions that prepare students for assessments. Students will read the absolute value inequality and determine whether it is a positive or negative type. Then, they will solve for x in both inequalities, graph them on a number line, and interpret the solution. In addition to the lesson, there is one page of Independent Practice and three pages of Periodic Review.
