Real-Life Math! Multiplying Binomials (FOIL), Addressing all Basics needed!

By Daniel

It is always a good strategy to review essential skills with your students, and this is right up there with the most essential!

The task will help students review all the basics involved in multiplying binomials. The task is specifically useful in a classroom full of students of different abilities. It addresses the following algebraic basics:

  • how to multiply integers
  • how to add and subtract like terms
  • how to multiply monomials (the laws of exponents)
  • how to FOIL two binomials.

FOIL, Binomials Multiplication, Algebra, Like terms, Adding Integers

Here is another resource on Binomials that you might not want to miss!

Real-Life Math fun activities! Linear Equations Tasks and Linear Programming

By Daniel

Children will love this group of activities, as it applies to the Real world that we live in.

This resource (tasks with complete key) covers 5 different real-life applications of linear equations. They include filling a pool, taking a road trip, paying off debt, earning a salary and renting a car.

This resource works great as ...

  • an assessment exercise
  • a task
  • independent work
  • distance learning
  • math stations
  • math centers
  • homework
  • constructive group work when introducing the topic.

Students will learn how to ...

  • build an equation from given data
  • substitute the given variable into the correct equation
  • solving for the required variable

The SAT and ACT tests contain many questions consisting of real-life equations such as the ones in this task card. It will be excellent preparation for these two tests. The task card will also enhance students' understanding of the use of equations and substitution in real life.

And, you can also get the REST of the resources on Linear equations here!
