These web-based activities were developed, during summer sessions from 1997 through 1999, by students at Mainland High School, located in Daytona Beach, FL. As part of Mainland's CCTT grant, the students were given permission by the book's publisher to convert the ancillary materials of the County's adopted Algebra 1 textbook (Glencoe Algebra 1 — ISBN: 9780028253282) into html format.

Practice

In each exercise below, you are given some numbers. Insert operations symbols (+, -, x, ÷ and parentheses) so that a true mathematical sentence is formed.

1. You cannot change the order of the numbers and you must observe the order of operations.

a.  5    4     3    2    1 = 3	b.  5    4     3    2    1 = 0
c.  5    4     3    2    1 = 1	d.  5    4     3    2    1 = 50

2. You cannot change the order of the numbers , but you may put two numbers together to form a two-digit number. You must observe the order of operations.

a.  1   2   3   4    5   6   7   8 = 90

b.  8   7   6   5    4   3   2   1 = 25

3. Make these four totals using these four digits:      4  3  2  1
    You can change the order of the numbers and you may put numbers together to form a two- or three-digit number. You must observe the order of operations.

a.  1312	b.  2
c.  16	d.  1
