It has been a long time since you've seen 7th and 8th grade math problems, huh!? If you need a refresher, join the club! Lots of us struggle with the math skills that our children are practicing. Find the skill below that your child is struggling with and then click on the link for some helpful information.
Adding and Subtracting Equations There are two acceptable ways to solve equations - the vertical method and the horizontal method. This website shows you how to use the horizontal method, and then it gives you some practice problems. This website shows you how to solve adding and subtracting equations using the horizontal (side by side) method.
More practice using the horizontal (side by side) method.

Solving Equations by multiplying or dividing. Ask yourself these three questions: 1. What is the variable? (the alphabet) 2. What is happening to the variable? (add/subtract/multiply/divide) 3. What is the opposite operation? Presentation that shows you how to solve multiplication and division equations.
Examples and practice with solving multiplication and division equations.

Multi-Step Equations Some equations are fairly involved. You must combine like terms and then solve for the variable. Solving Multi-Step Equations
Graphing Inequalities An equation has just one answer. When you graph that answer, you end up with a dot on a number line. An inequality has many answers. Graphing an inequality includes dots that are open and closed and some shading. Click on the examples below to help you make sense of this. Graphing Inequalities
