A complete formative lesson with embedded slideshow, mini lecture screencasts, checks for understanding, practice items, mixed review, and reflection. I create these assignments to supplement each lesson of Pearson's Common Core Edition Algebra 1, Algebra 2, and Geometry courses. See also mathquest.net and twitter.com/mathquestEDU.

Solve It! You are playing a video game. You reach a locked gate. The lock is square with 9 sections. You can make a key by placing a red or yellow block in each section. Near the gate is a carving of a pattern of squares.
The key to the gate is the eighth image in the pattern. Sketch the key to the gate on the canvas.

Problem 1 Got It? Look at the figures from left to right. What is the pattern?
Problem 1 Got It? Look at the figures from left to right. Sketch the next figure in the pattern on the canvas.
Vocabulary: In your own words, compare and contrast constants and variables (aka variable quantities).

Problem 2 Got It? How many tiles are in the 25th figure in this pattern? Use a table of values with a process column.
Respond with only a number and no spaces.

Problem 3 Got It? How much do six platy's cost? Enter only a whole dollar amount with a dollar sign. Use this format: $21
Problem 3 Got It? How much do ten platy's cost? Enter only a whole dollar amount with a dollar sign. Use this format: $21
Problem 3 Got It? Reasoning: Why is the graph in Problem 3, shown below, a line while the graph shown here is a set of points?

Describe a rule for the pattern below.
