Algebra Drill Sheets

Our resource has been created for ease of use by both TEACHERS and STUDENTS alike.

T he NCTM content standards have been used in the creation of the assignments in this booklet. This method promotes the idea that it is beneficial to learn through practical, applicable, real-world examples. Many of the task and drill sheets are organized around a central problem taken from real-life experiences of the students. The pages of this booklet contain a variety in terms of levels of difficulty and content so as to provide students with a variety of different opportunities. Included are opportunities for problem-solving, sorting, patterning, algebraic graphing, solving equations, examining quantitative change, evaluating algebraic expressions, utilizing number lines and graphs, mathematical sentences and algebraic properties. Visual models are included to assist visual learners. Teachers may also choose to use mathematics manipulatives along with the exercises included in this book to help address the needs of kinesthetic learners.

Reproducible task sheets and drill sheets make up the majority of our resource.

The task sheets contain challenging problem-solving tasks in drill form, many centered around real-world ideas or problems, which push the boundaries of critical thought and demonstrate to students why mathematics is important and applicable in the real world. It is not expected that all activities will be used, but are offered for variety and flexibility in teaching and assessment. Many of the drill sheet problems offer space for reflection, and opportunity for the appropriate use of technology, as encouraged by the NCTMs Principles & Standards for School Mathematics.

The drill sheets contain 11 Timed Drill Sheets and 6 Warm-Up Drill Sheets, featuring real-life problem-solving opportunities. The drill sheets are provided to help students with their procedural proficiency skills, as emphasized by the
