shawthorne44 Posted February 4 Share Posted February 4 For math. daughter has done Beast Academy and some AOPS. She is in Intro Geometry now. I realized that she needs more work in simplifying expressions. Just like she'd needed more work with the multiplication table. Anyone have a suggestion? Online or book would be fine, but it would have to be self-paced if online. I think once she gets the "click" where everything falls into place, she'll be fine on that and I'd hate for her to waste time. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
A.M. Posted February 4 Share Posted February 4 I like Corbett Maths ( https://corbettmaths.com ) for extra practice. It has videos and practice sheets, all for free. Just note that it is British. Math Mammoth has videos on simplifying expression on this page: https://www.mathmammoth.com/videos/prealgebra/pre-algebra-videos MM also has a worktext in the Blue Series that focuses on equations and expression. It is pre-algebra level though, so might be too simple for your dc. Khan Academy is a favourite here as well. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jann in TX Posted February 5 Share Posted February 5 (edited) What part of the expression is tripping her up? Can she factor trinomials easily/accurately? Does she know the difference between terms and factors? (this is a big stumbling block for students).

EKS Posted February 5 Share Posted February 5 What level of simplifying expressions are we talking about? Could you give a few examples of things she's having trouble with? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
shawthorne44 Posted February 8 Author Share Posted February 8 As far as level, we are talking Algebra 1 equations. It isn't precisely that she can't do the problems. But it is like with the multiplication tables, she could figure out what 7x8 was. But, before pre-multiplication drills, she'd think "Well, 7x7 is 49 and add another 7 ..." I remember I didn't get the Algebra intuition until I was taking Trig EA. The instant recognition that if variables are on the bottom of a fraction move them to the top by multiplying. Then do what is needed to move the variables to one side, and the number-only things to the other side. She isn't to that point yet. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
daijobu Posted February 8 Share Posted February 8 I googled "free printable linear equations worksheets" and got a lot of resources like this one: https://www.homeschoolmath.net/worksheets/linear_equations.php You can scan the search results and find appropriate practice worksheets for your student. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
