Manipulating Equations WORKSHEET
Suitable for Grades: 6th Grade
CCSS: 6.EE.A.2, HSA.CED.A.1
CCSS Description: Write, read, and evaluate expressions in which letters stand for numbers. a. Write expressions that record operations with numbers and with letters standing for numbers. For example, express the calculation “Subtract y from 5” as 5 – y.b. Identify parts of an expression using mathematical terms (sum, term, product, factor, quotient, coefficient); view one or more parts of an expression as a single entity. For example, describe the expression 2 (8 + 7) as a product of two factors; view (8 + 7) as both a single entity and a sum of two terms. c. Evaluate expressions at specific values of their variables. Include expressions that arise from formulas used in real-world problems. Perform arithmetic operations, including those involving whole-number exponents, in the conventional order when there are no parentheses to specify a particular order (Order of Operations). For example, use the formulas V = s3 and A = 6 s2 to find the volume and surface area of a cube with sides of length s = 1/2.
Create equations and inequalities in one variable and use them to solve problems. Include equations arising from linear and quadratic functions, and simple rational and exponential functions.

Manipulating Equations WORKSHEET DESCRIPTION
This resource is designed to improve students’ algebraic thinking by guiding them through the step-by-step manipulation of equations, an essential skill in solving algebra problems.
In this worksheet, learners begin with simple operations, applying addition, subtraction, multiplication, and division to both sides of an equation; it requires students to rewrite the equation after performing the specified operation, helping them understand how different operations impact both sides of the equation.
By practicing these varied examples, students will develop the skills necessary to confidently manipulate and solve equations. This makes it an excellent resource for mastering algebraic manipulation.
