When does algebra come about in your
day-to-day life?
 Why is it important to understand these
algebraic concepts?
 How can solving systems of equations
help to make problem solving easier?

This 800+ page textbook is a
high school level algebra
book. I chose this book
because it is easy for
students at the high school
level to comprehend, and
contains all of the topics
necessary to be taught in an
algebra course. While it is
easy to understand and
learn from, it also offers
problems which challenge
the above average students.
It offers a variety of problems
which fully demonstrate the
importance of these topics
and the subject of algebra.

This practice workbook
by Prentice Hall gives the
students an excellent
opportunity for more
practice with solving
these types of problems.
Seeing that this workbook
is also by Prentice Hall,
just like the textbook, the
problems correspond
perfectly in order with the
sections of the book. This
makes it convenient for
the students and easy to
follow along.

This game, found on
the Math Playground
website, involves
solving systems of
equations. While this
website contains a
variety of games on
many different topics,
this one is appropriate
with the concepts
regarding solving
systems of algebraic
equations. It allows the
students to interact
online while solving
systems in fun ways that
they may find relate to

This website, MathTV.com, gives excellent tutorials on
solving any type of algebraic problem. It allows you to
choose a topic, in this case, systems of equations, and
watch a variety of problems being done on a white
board, step by step. It’s important for students to have
extra practice while at home, and if they were to forget
how to go about solving a specific problem, this can be
very useful in figuring it out. Not only does it offer a section
on systems of equations, but shows examples involving
every possible way to solve a system.

TeacherTube is also another
excellent source of video
tutorials. In mathematics, it is
especially important for the
students to visualize each
problem, step by step, as
these videos demonstrate.
This particular one I’ve
chosen goes over the
concept of solving a system
of equations using the
graphing method. This
method will be used often
and this video gives a clear
explanation of how to go
about doing so.

This worksheet is from the
website FunMaths. The
website contains an
incredible amount of
printable math worksheets
pertaining to every subject
and every grade level. This
specific worksheet involves
using the given axis to solve
the given systems of linear
equations. It is the perfect
worksheet to go along with
the unit on systems of
equations, particularly

This website, Online Math
Learning, contains many
appropriate worksheets,
activities, videos, and
games. This page I’ve
selected in particular, shows
video tutorials on every
different method of solving
systems of linear equations.
This is great extra practice
for the students and gives
them more visual aids that
could be useful while
studying and completing
assignments.

This is another worksheet
containing excellent practice
regarding solving systems of
linear equations. Also found
on the Online Math Learning
cite, it gives the students
many problems to try, as well
as allowing them to check
their answers to see if they
have completed the
problems correctly. This is just
one worksheet I’ve chosen,
however, I could have chosen
many others as well, all
involving different methods of
solution.
(This graphic only shows three of the ten
problems that are on the worksheet)

This is a great worksheet with
examples of word problems
involving systems of
equations. It’s important for
students to be able to relate
these algebraic concepts to
real life situations. These
problems are great practice
in applying systems of
equations to situations that
they would recognize from
things that may go on in
their lives. This worksheet also
gives the students the
opportunity to view the
correct solutions as well as
view all of the steps

This is another excellent
resource for practicing
solving systems of linear
equations. It gives the
students the
opportunity to
demonstrate their
answers in different
ways. It offers a lot of
practice and displays
the answers as well as
all of the steps required
in solving each
problem. This is the
most challenging of all
of the worksheets I’ve
found so far, which will
