nikimathnikimath

ABSOLUTE VALUE INEQUALITIES - practice problems classified into 2 types (2 WS)

(0)
This resource contains total of 16 problems. Students will practice solving absolute value inequalities. Problems of various difficulty are classified into 2 different types: ⟐ The first worksheet has the students solving 8 inequalities of type |ax+b|<c and |ax+b|<=c, where c>0. Students solve each inequality, graph its solutions and express the graph using interval notation. ⟐ The second worksheet is finding the solution sets of each of 8 absolute value inequalities of type |ax+b|>c and |ax+b|>=c, where c>0. Students are asked to solve each inequality, graph its solutions and express the graph using interval notation. The worksheets can be used in class for cooperative learning, for an extra independent practice, an assessment or homework assignment. It can be also used as a partner activity – like: ⟡ Partner A will solve WS #1 while Partner B solves WS # 2, then they swap papers and Partner A will solve WS #2 while Partner B solves WS #1. Once they have completed the work, they compare their results. If there are different answers to one and the same problem, students have to identify and correct any errors. Answer keys are included.

On the second page/slide (level 2) students add and subtract rational fractions having different denominators. Students will need to factor the denominators factoring out a GCF and using the difference of squares formula. On the third page/slide (problems level 3) students add and subtract three rational fractions with different denominators. It is not needed for students to solve all of the problems as classwork, however they can have some of the problems as homework. The product can be used as a group activity as well (groups of 4 as each student will solve 2 problems from each page/slide). Answer keys are included.

Multiply & Divide Rational Expressions - "Knock Down the Skittles" Matching Game

(0)
This is a fun game called “Knock Down the Skittles” on multiplying and dividing rational expressions. The problem pages/slides are three. On each page/slide students are given four problems, pictures of five skittles and five answer choices each written below each skittle.

Students are said to “knock down” this skittle (they can scratch it off/strike it through). One of the skittles can not be “knocked down” as below it is written a false answer. If students solve all the problems on the page/slide correctly they will find out which one is this skittle. Finally students are asked to connect each problem with its answer drawing a line (students can use and another way to match the problems with their answers for instance marking the problem and its answer the same symbol or color). There are included three answer key pages/slides at the end of this document. NOTE: This product is created as a Google Slides product. I have converted it to PDF item here.
