Forming One Step Equations WORKSHEET
Forming One Step Equations WORKSHEET DESCRIPTION
This worksheet is the first in our series that uses varied representations to aid your pupils' understanding of expressing missing number problems algebraically.
Throughout the worksheet learners will match models (bar models, part-whole models and algebra tiles) to one-step equations, form equations from models, draw models to represent equations and represent written scenarios such as “I think of a number, multiply it by 5 and it is now equal to 20” as a model and in the form of an equation across 4 sections.
To begin with, students will only focus on three operations: addition, subtraction and multiplication. See our worksheet “Forming One Step Equations Involving Division” to solely focus on representing division.
All worksheets are created by the team of experienced teachers at Cazoom Maths.

Frequently Asked Questions
Your pupils will engage with three key visual representations: bar models, part-whole models, and algebra tiles. These varied models help bridge the gap between concrete mathematical thinking and abstract algebraic expression, making it easier for learners to grasp how missing number problems can be written using letters and symbols.
