Algebra
Extend geometric and numerical patterns. 7.2.1 N	Analyzing Numeric and Geometric Patterns of Paper Pool - an activity from Illuminations, the NCTM site. Calculating the nth Term - how to develop a formula that can be used to calculate these terms Create your own pattern - Drag shapes to create a pattern - ( Instructions on how to use this page in your classroom ) Mystery Operations - In this activity the computer makes up a mystery operation, and you have to figure out what the operation is. You give the computer two numbers to calculate, and it tells you the answer. Number Cracker - Guess what number comes next in the pattern? Number Cruncher - Lists input and output in a table and will not let the user attempt to guess the rule on without at least having two data points. Patterns in Geometry - online quiz Patterns - Figure out the patterns, if you can! Spy Guys Interactive - Summarizing/Extending Patterns - Lesson 8 Whole Number Cruncher - Similar to "Number Cruncher" but only generates multiplication and addition functions to avoid outputting any negative numbers Writing Rules for Patterns - online quiz
Apply function rules. 7.2.2 AT	Ambleweb Function Machine - students identify what process was used to produce a sequence of numbers (twelve processes available)
Extend rate charts to solve real-world problems. 7.2.3 R
Generalize patterns in data represented in tables and graphs. 7.2.4 AT	Vehicle Stopping Distance And Time - use data to reach conclusions - use their Vehicle Stopping Distance Calculator to do actual model calculations
Represent mathematical statements and real-world situations using symbols. 7.2.5 AT	Spy Guys Interactive - Balancing Equations - Lesson 11 Symbols of Inclusion - simplify each expression and choose the correct comparison symbol Translate Sentences into Equations Translating Word Problems - lesson with links to practice types of word problems Verbal Reasoning - Challenges students to clearly understand a problem and think through the solution! Word Problem Practice - Problems in addition, subtraction and more (Warning: many pop-up ads on this site)
Evaluate algebraic expressions given the value of two or more variables. 7.2.6 AT	Spy Guys Interactive - Balancing Equations - Lesson 11
Solve one-step linear equations. 7.2.7 AT	Function Machine - Students investigate very simple functions by trying to guess the algebraic form from inputs and outputs. Graphing Linear Equations - an Internet project Linear Equation Solvers - Practice Linear Equations! Improves your test scores! Linear Equation Solver from Algebra.com Linear Equation Solver - a pop-up window allows users to specify the number of equations Linear function - move your cursor to the green block to select step 1 Linear function and Graph - move your cursor over the green block to see lesson 1 or lesson 2 Linear Function Machine - Students investigate linear functions by trying to guess the slope and intercept from inputs and outputs. Positive Linear Function Machine - Students investigate linear functions with positive slopes by trying to guess the slope and intercept from inputs and outputs. Solving addition and subtraction equations - Try a workout of 10 problems. If you get at least 8 correct on your first attempt, then you're ready to move on. If not, review "In Depth" and try again. Solving Linear Equations
Solve real-world problems involving one-step linear equations. 7.2.8 R
Identify whole numbers that satisfy a given one-variable inequality. 7.2.9 AT
Select a scatter plot to represent data presented in tabular form. 7.2.10 GR	Step-by-step Internet4Classrooms module on how to produce a scatter plot using Excel
Interpret graphs which represent rates of change. 7.2.11 GR	Rate of Change: Connecting Slope to Real Life - a lesson on using slope to find the rate of change accompanied by graphs and explanations Rate of Change Practice Problems - nine practice problems (including a graph to interpret) followed by an answer key Using the X and Y Intercept to Graph Linear Equations - This follow up to the first lesson above deals with linear equations written in standard form rather than slope intercept form Finding the X Intercept and Y Intercept to Graph Standard Form Equations - five practice problems to practice using what was learned in the lesson above, followed by an answer key
National Library of Virtual Manipulatives	Algebra (Grades 6-8)
