Expressions and Equations Guided Notes Lessons and Worksheets BUNDLE 8th Math

This bundle includes everything you need to teach and reinforce Expressions and Equations in 8th Grade Math—guided notes, video lessons, and differentiated worksheets all in one!

You'll get 11 essential lessons covering topics like simplifying expressions, solving equations (from one-step to multi-step equations with variables on both sides), and writing equations and inequalities, and more.

Each lesson includes:

• A concise, one-page guided notes sheet
• An accompanying video to walk students through the notes
• Two leveled, differentiated worksheets for targeted practice

These resources make it easy to teach or review key concepts with built-in differentiation—ideal for a range of learning levels. They’re also perfect for sub plans, student absences, or independent learning, thanks to the included videos and worked-out answer keys.

Say goodbye to last-minute prep and planning stress—this bundle gives you everything you need to confidently teach or review essential skills, so you can spend less time planning and more time teaching.

These notes get straight to the point of the skill being taught, which I have found is imperative for the attention span of middle schoolers! They are also a great tool for students to refer back to. 

22 DIFFERENTIATED WORKSHEETS:

• Combining Like Terms Worksheets
• The Distributive Property Worksheets
• Solving One-Step Equations Worksheets
• Solving Two-Step Equations Worksheets
• Solving Multi-Step Equations with Like Terms Worksheets
• Solving Multi-Step Equations Worksheets
• Solving Equations with Variables on Both Sides Worksheets
• Solving Equations with Variables on Both Sides and Like Terms Worksheets
• Solving Multi-Step Equations with Variables on Both Sides Worksheets
• Writing Equations with Variables on Both Sides from Word Problems Worksheets
• Writing Inequalities with Variables on Both Sides from Word Problems Worksheets

Each of the above include:

     ● Worksheet Version A - 12 easier problems

     ● Worksheet Version B - 12 harder problems

     ● Answer Keys for both versions

There a total of 24 different problems on each worksheet - 12 in version A and 12 in version B. Version A is the easier version that includes more straight forward and skills-based problems. Version B is the harder version that includes more problem solving and word problems.

You can use both versions at the same time to differentiate, or use one version now and save another one for later. In the product, I include several ideas on the best ways to use both versions!

In this bundle, you can download the individual PDFs for each of the notes and worksheets listed out. I also include a PDF with all the bundled notes, YouTube links, worksheets & keys in one document as a bonus.

These notes, videos and worksheets align well with TEKS 8.8A, 8.8B, 8.8C
