 * This resource file will be used primarily for students who are in 9th grade, or any student taking Algebra I. The resources found here can be used for a variety of reasons; if students need extra help, if teachers need resources, and even games! Students can utilize the resources found here to enhance their understanding of solving for equations and sequences, and teachers can use this as supplemental information for their lessons, as well as assignments for their classroom.**

**Text-Based Resources**
This website would be utilized primarily by teachers as a means to better understand the benefits of teaching their students Algebra at an interactive level. The text examines a study that found students who are given the opportunity to interact with their texts, are better able to understand the material at the end of a unit.
 * [|The Role of Multiple Representations in Learning Algebra] Flesch-Kincaid Grade Level: 16.3**

This website will lead teachers to a lesson plan that will help further enhance their students' understanding of Algebra. Teachers can use this resource in their classrooms as an activity, or supplemental information.
 * [|The Devil and Daniel Webster Worksheet] Flesch-Kincaid Grade Level: 6.6**

Because this unit focuses on building upon student's knowledge of sequences, this website provides the best reinforcement and explanation of these ideas. It gives definitions of what a sequence is, how to figure out what type of sequence a set of numbers belongs to, and different examples of sequences commonly found in the math world.
 * [|Sequences] Flesch-Kincaid Grade Level: 2.4**

**Flesch-Kincaid Grade Level: 5.5** This performance task uses the tools students have learned in solving for variables and puts them to the test. Students are given a complex equation in which they must explain their understanding by answering the given questions.

**Flesch-Kincaid Grade Level: 8.9** This interactive activity uses marshmallows (that students can eat after they're done!) and toothpicks to construct hydrocarbons, which will show a pattern. Students will be able to complete the task in groups and will solve for the pattern based on their visual, as well as the supplementary questions.

Web-Based Resources

 * [|IXL Algebra I]** This website can be used for any Algebra lesson to help enhance student understanding. Students and teachers can choose which subject matter or lesson they are working on, and solve for sample problems. After the student had answered, the site lets the student know whether they are right or wrong, and shows the steps to take in order to obtain the correct answer.


 * [|Algebra Tiles]** This is an activity off of illuminations.org, a website where students can find many games that will supplement their learning. This particular game uses algebra tiles to solve for equations and variables. It makes solving for equations more interactive and fun for students.


 * [|College Preparatory Mathematics website]** The College Preparatory Mathematics website allows teachers to choose various levels of mathematics classes for which they may need supplementary assignments. This website provides teacher, student, and technology resources.


 * [|Desmos Graphing Calculator]** Students and teachers alike can use the Desmos Graphing Calculator to see how a function might progress, where the x- and y- intercept may be located, the slope and whether the function is positive or negative.


 * [|Algebra Help]** Algebra Help can be used to have students answer questions and learn from their mistakes. After students answer questions, they can get a step-by-step summary as to how to correctly solve for the problem.

Other Resources

 * [|Solving an Equation with Variables on Both Sides]** One of my classmates created this wonderfully informative video to solve an equation with variables on both sides. It shows step by step how to solve for the variable and gives multiple examples to ensure comprehension.


 * [|Algebra: Solving Inequalities]** This video from Kahn Academy gives an example of how to solve for algebraic inequalities. This gives step by step how to solve and answers a few misconceptions students may have.


 * [|Geometric Sequences]** This video explains how to solve for geometric sequences and how to identify them. It also gives examples and consistently reminds the viewer of the rules for geometric sequences.


 * [|Fx Algebra Solver App]** The Fx Algebra App provided form Apple Inc. allows students to practice solving Algebra problems from their iPhone, iPad or Mac computer.


 * [|Mathway App]** This application for iPhone or Android can help students with any math questions they may have on the go.
