Introduction
Math Mammoth Algebra 1-A Worksheets Collection has been created with teachers'
needs in mind: each worksheet is exactly one page, concentrating on one topic;
therefore is easy to assign for students.
Please note that this is a worksheet collection and does not contain textbook
explanations.
These algebra worksheets have been “handcrafted” one by one. Each worksheet is
on one topic, but contains varying problems about that topic. The problems include
some that lead to a concept, basic practice problems about the topic on hand, and
most worksheet also include 1-2 challenging problems.
This collection contains a lot of word problems. In essence, the worksheets are like
the problem section of a math book, and far from the mechanical worksheets created
by a script.

This collection at hand covers the first half of a typical algebra 1 course topics. The
first section of the book contains introductory problems about variables, expressions,
translating words into symbols, and building equations.

m
The second section covers basic properties of real numbers. Next follows a section
on solving linear equations, which also covers ratio, proportion, and percent
problems. I have also included lots of word problems here.
The next section, Graphing Linear Equations and Functions, starts with problems
about relations, then has worksheets for all the graphing-related concepts, such as
slope and parallel and perpendicular lines. Lastly in this section I have included three
worksheets about modeling with linear equations.
The next section concentrates on solving and graphing linear inequalities including
absolute value inequalities. Lastly in this collection we have systems of linear
equations and inequalities.
The Algebra 1-B collection covers the latter half of algebra 1: powers, polynomials,
factoring, quadratic equations, rational expressions and equations, radicals and
geometry.
I wish you success with math teaching!
