Use Order of Operations
- Grade:
- 6
- Subject:
- Math
This algebra and functions lesson focuses on using the order of operations. The lesson includes research-based strategies and strategic questions that prepare students for assessments. In this lesson, students determine which operation to perform first (using PEMDAS) and repeat the order of operations until no more can be performed. Then, they compute the final value. In addition to the lesson, there are thirteen pages of Independent Practice and Periodic Reviews with questions modeled after current adaptive testing items.
Simplify Radical Expressions
- Grade:
- High School, High School 9-10, High School 11-12
- Subject:
- Math
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.

Simplify Rational Expressions by Factoring
- Grade:
- High School
- Subject:
- Math
This Algebra 1 lesson teaches students how to simplify rational expressions by factoring. The lesson includes research-based strategies and strategic questions that prepare students for assessments. Students will factor the polynomial in the numerator completely, if possible, and then the denominator. Finally, they will simplify the fraction by reducing common polynomials factors in the numerator and the denominator. In addition to the lesson, there is one page of Independent Practice and three pages of periodic review.
Add, Subtract, and Multiply Polynomials

Solve Multistep Equations
- Grade:
- High School
- Subject:
- Math
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.
Add Rational Expressions
- Grade:
- High School, High School 9-10
- Subject:
- Math
This Algebra 1 lesson teaches students how to add rational expressions. The lesson includes research-based strategies and strategic questions that prepare students for assessments. Students will factor the polynomials in the denominator completely, if possible, and then create equivalent fractions by finding the common denominator by multiplying the numerator and denominator of each fraction by the same rational expression. Finally, they will add the rational expressions by combining like terms in the numerator, and simplifying if needed. In addition to the lesson, there is one page of Independent Practice and three pages of periodic review.
