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 ...

Real-Life Math Linear Equations - 16 Skills Alg 2+PreCalc students should have!
By Daniel
All Algebra 2, Pre-Calculus and Calculus students should have mastered a set of essential skills in previous courses - but they often don't. This resource has been thoroughly classroom-tested and will help you review these essentials quickly and effectively. I teach Algebra 2 and Pre-Calculus and plan to give this task as a DIY task for extra credit before EVERY unit this year.
Linear Equations and their Graphical representations are an integral part of any Algebra course. This resource (task, with checklist and complete answer key) makes sure that students practice the 16 essential skills needed.
Students will practice the following skills:
- moving fluently between the graphical, numerical (ordered pair) and algebraic representation of a linear equation.
- finding the slope given 2 points.
- finding the slope given the equation
- changing between standard and slope-intercept form
- finding the x- and y-intercept
- graphing the straight line
- finding the equation given 2 points
- finding the equation given 1 point and the slope
- and much more
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.
And here are more resources in the Linear equations Series that you cannot forget!
