Teachers:  Knock a half-hour or more off of your planning time with our Algebra Worksheets with Answers!

Dear teacher,

I've been there... I know how much time you spend planning and searching for the best resources for your students! 

The biggest problem is there's no one resource available that will meet the needs of all of your students.  Therefore, you spend hours planning for three different ability levels so that everyone is successful.

So, I'm going to cut to the chase and explain what I have developed for the students who take my online Algebra course. 

One set of worksheets with everyone in mind...

Teaching online and teaching in the classroom are a little different, but one thing is the same - you will always have students at varying ability levels.  It's a little more difficult with my job when teaching online because I don't have a chance to meet my students.  I have no idea what their prior experiences were like in math, what background knowledge they have acquired or how they learn best. 

So, my goal was to design a program that would meet the needs of many different types of students, in hopes of being able to reach the majority.

After being introduced to the Universal Design for Learning (UDL), this changed the way I developed lessons...

I was so intrigued by UDL, that I researched this topic for months.  There are so many strategies that we can incorporate into a lesson that will meet the needs of almost all students.  In fact, I produced a course for Linked In Learning called "Teaching Complex Topics" and UDL is one of the main points in that course.  (If you've never read about UDL, I highly encourage you to!  You can find a lot of information on the web).

I've recently revised all worksheets for my Algebra 1 program, and every single lesson has a UDL strategy included.  This strategy is giving students "multiple entry points" into the lesson.

What do I mean by multiple entry points?

My worksheets are designed so that a struggling learner will be successful and the advanced learner will be challenged, and only one resource is necessary to make this happen!

Here is an example of a Two-Step Equations lesson in our first unit, Solving Equations. Students learn how to solve two-step equations following lessons on one-step equations.

As you can see, section 1 is the scaffolded section for struggling learners.  They are given a template and directions for each step.  Although they only have two problems, they can continue to use the directions in part 2 if needed. 

Part 2 is practice. Some students may not need the extra scaffold and their "entry point" may be starting with section 2.  Again, all students can be successful here, because struggling learners will have the scaffolds from above.

Part 3 is always an extension or application of the skill.  In this case, we've made the problems more difficult by adding fractions and decimals into the mix.  In many other lessons, students will be solving word problems or finding errors in a given problem... We always want to provide students with a challenge if possible.

So... as you can see we have one resource that will meet the needs of your struggling learner, students who just need practice, and your advanced learner.

In addition to these worksheets, you'll get...

As you can see, we've used color coding to help students see the different steps in the solving process.  Again, it's a great tool for teachers and students.
