Choosing Where to Start
For foundational practice, begin with polynomial operations, then move to factoring and division. For polynomial functions, start with graphing and use the matching or multiple representations activities to connect equations with their features.
Continue with zeros and inequalities as those topics appear in your course. For mixed review, use the diagnostic test to choose your next topic, or apply several skills in the open-top box project.
About These Resources
These resources support Algebra I and Algebra II classroom lessons, tutoring, and independent practice. The collection includes printable worksheets, answer keys, teaching guides, and activities. Individual resource pages explain the skills covered and the available materials. I built these resources from the problem types and mistakes I encountered while tutoring Algebra I and Algebra II students, and I check the answer keys before publishing them.
