Multiplying and Dividing Monomials (Guided Notes on Exponent Rules)
This lesson is meant to be used as guided notes for a whole class. Students begin by learning what IS and IS NOT a monomial. They then multiply some monomials in order to discover the rule: We can add their exponents. After solving a few problems, they do the same thing with dividing monomials to discover that rule: Subtracting the exponents. Finally, students are shown a proof/explanation as to why a number raised to the power of 0 equals 1. *This lesson is definitely just an intro to multiplyi

Solving Absolute Value Inequalities (Guided Notes)
This lesson is meant to be used as guided notes for a whole class.
Students begin by learning the steps to solving absolute value inequalities. There are 2 scenarios: greater than signs or less than signs. In order to remember how to solve these, they are presented with the mnemonic device GORLAND! (Greater than = or, less than = and) Then they solve a few problems using this new word they have just learned. Finally, they are shown examples of a few problems where there would be no solution.

Intro to Polynomials (Guided Notes & Algebra Tile Activity)
This lesson is meant to be used as guided notes for a whole class, with a fun activity at the end. Students begin by learning what a polynomial is and what makes something a monomial, binomial, and trinomial. They then learn what makes something NOT a polynomial. After learning about "degree" and "leading coefficient", students learn how to put polynomials into standard form. The end of the second page is an introduction to algebra tiles, and the final page is a fun activity to help students get

Solving Compound Inequalities (Guided Notes)
This lesson is meant to be used as guided notes for a whole class.The first half of the lesson is about compound inequalities involving the word AND. They first learn that x>7 and x<11 can be written as 7<x<11. Then they learn how to solve and graph these. Later, they learn about compound inequalities with the word OR and how these differ. This lesson should most likely be 2 separate days. The last 4 pages are a copy of the key.Related activity:Solving Compound Inequalities - Word Sc

Negative Exponents (Guided Notes)
This lesson is meant to be used as guided notes for a whole class. Students begin by learning the rule for negative exponents, followed by a simple proof/explanation of why. After learning that 1 raised to any number equals 1, they begin working with negative exponents. They are shown how to rewrite negative exponent expressions with positive exponents, and vice versa. Next, they are challenged to rewrite fractions as expressions with negative exponents. For example, they see how to rewrite 1/25

X- and Y-Intercepts and Graphing Guided Notes and Practice
These scaffolded guided notes begin with an introduction to x- and y-intercepts in terms of definition and how to find it. Then the notes go through an example where students can graph the intercepts after they find them. I have four problems that they can do with a partner or in small groups.
Finally, these scaffolded notes end in independent practice that is called "How Hot Can You Handle?" My students are used to this type of practice where they start at the bottom and work their way to the

Parallel lines cut by a transversal foldable
Parallel lines cut by a transversal foldable is a foldable that organizes information about the angle pairs formed by a transversal and two parallel lines (corresponding, alternate interior, same side interior, alternate exterior, same side exterior). Under each flap, students list the appropriate angle pairs and whether the angle pairs are congruent or supplementary. Students can color and label each section of the foldable. I have provided a picture of a completed foldable, as well as, the fo

Powers of Monomials (Guided Notes on Exponent Rules)
This lesson is meant to be used as guided notes for a whole class.Students begin by investigating what it means to raise a monomial to an exponent. From this, they discover a rule: We can multiply their exponents! After solving some problems, they explore what can go wrong when working with negative bases if we are not careful. Next, they take it a step farther by working with monomials and their coefficients, or "power of a product." The final part of the lesson assumes they have learned about

These notes accompany my RULES inequality powerpoint and contain more examples to go through with students and to have them practice.
These notes outline each step of the process to illustrate how important they are. My students really enjoyed the RULES method because it gave them a "to do" list when it came to solving word problems. It is in the same format as my RULES for equations notes. Using them together over the course of first semester will set us up for success in solving systems of equ

Solving Inequalities with Multiplication and Division (Guided Notes)
This lesson is meant to be used as guided notes for a whole class.Students begin by solving 2 inequalities that involve multiplication and division. While checking their answers, they realize that one answer they got is actually wrong. From this, they arrive at the conclusion that we must flip the sign when multiplying or dividing both sides by a negative number. After solving a few inequalities, they then translate and solve a few more. The last 2 pages are a copy of the key.Related activity:So
