Activity Description
This activity gives students the needed practice to reinforce classroom instruction on simple algebraic equations. Each lesson provides the student with a short review of the lesson, interactive practice, and play, which includes timed games.
Preparation
- Check that the site is not blocked by your school and that all the activities function as they should.
- There are many lessons under Equations - Lessons. Choose which ones are appropriate for your students.
- Try some of the exercises to check the difficulty level. Review the lesson and practice activities.
Teacher Tips
- Avoid the advertising in between the navigation menu for each lesson and the lesson below.
- There are numerous short lessons on equations. Depending on the available class time, you can present several lessons during a class period.

Lesson Plan
Warm-up
Engagement
Begin with a review of previous content related to equations. Write an equation on the board and ask students to get with a partner and solve it.
Introduction
Extension
Introduce the lesson and discuss the importance of being able to solve algebraic equations. Try to use real-life applications.
Presentation
Engagement
- Give the students an algebraic equation and ask them how they would solve the problem.
- Give students time to explore different methods of finding the solution. This works well in small groups. Have the groups share their findings.
- Guide instruction to clarify any misconceptions and direct learning.
Practice
Enhancement
Use the interactive Practice section to generate equations. You will find these above the lesson where you see Learn, Practice, Play, Explore, etc.
If you have access to a computer lab, give students time to practice their skills individually. If students have Internet access at home, encourage students to practice their skills at home.
The next day you can discuss any problems students had with the problems and reteach as necessary
Evaluation
- Check for understanding by giving a short formative quiz.
- Reteach concepts as needed.
Application
Extension
Divide students into small groups and discuss how they can apply this to there lives.
