In this resource, students will practice solving rational equations reducible to quadratics using three types methods for solving:
Cross Multiplying
Multiplying by the LCD
Factoring to find the LCD
This activity includes monomial, binomial, and trinomial denominators. The problems have a varying degree of difficulty. This product was not intended to include extraneous solutions. All the equations have two distinct real solutions (rational and irrational). The amusing part is creating compound words corresponding to each solution set of the rational equations given.
Activity Directions: There are 18 problems total, separated into two sets.
Partners start solving their own set of three groups of three equations by a specified method and check for extraneous solutions. Once students has found the solution set of each equation, they are given two tables to use. There is a word corresponding to each number written in table 1 . Using this table, students find which two words correspond to each solution set of their equations and make compound words. They record the solution set of each rational equation and the compound word corresponding to it in table 2 .
Student recording sheets are specially designed and provided for this activity. Answer keys are included.
In this engaging and self - checking activity students will practice finding general solutions to 12 differential equations. The problems are of various difficulty and require using separation of variables and integration. There are 12 task cards – recording sheets with space provided for students to show their work. After finding the general solution, students must fill in the missing function f(x) for the answer given coded at the bottom of the card.
The product is great for independent practice and it is appropriate for cooperative work as well. It can be possibly used as a partner or a group activity.

This is an engaging guiding practice on combining like terms & distributive property. It is easy to follow, consisting of 4 parts, 10 worked out examples and 6 tasks for students to do. First part is presenting the term like terms as students fulfill two tasks. Second is presenting the operation combining like terms, students are shown how to perform this operation in four worked out examples and then they are given four problems to solve. Third is simplifying algebraic expressions using combining like terms. Here students have two examples to follow so to solve four problems. And the fourth part is the distributive property and combining like terms. Students learn that when they have an expression with parentheses like a(b+c) they first need to apply the distributive property and then to combine the like terms. It is demonstrated with 3 worked out examples. Finally students are given to simplify 7 algebraic expressions as the last two need to be evaluated for given values of the variables.

These are 15 cards with animal toppers on combining like terms. Each card contains 4 similar problems. The first three cards on slide 1 have two like terms to be combined, the three cards on slide 2 have three like terms, the three cards on slide 3 have four like terms to be combined, two cards on slide 4 have four terms as two of them are like terms and the other two are also like terms, card three on slide 4 have six terms, the last three cards on slide 5 include problems where the distributive property has to be applied first and them like terms have to be combined. There are empty boxes provided below each problem where students can type their answers.
These cards can be completed independently or students can work in groups of 2 or 4.
Answer keys are included.
