Solving One Step Linear Equations WORKSHEET

Suitable for Grades: 6th Grade
CCSS: 6.EE.B.6, 6.EE.B.7
CCSS Description: Use variables to represent numbers and write expressions when solving a real-world or mathematical problem; understand that a variable can represent an unknown number, or, depending on the purpose at hand, any number in a specified set.

Solve real‑world and mathematical problems by writing and solving equations of the form x + p = q and p x = q for nonnegative rational numbers.

Solving One Step Linear Equations WORKSHEET DESCRIPTION

Throughout this worksheet, learners will use bar models and fact families in order to solve one step equations. Fact families reinforce the idea that addition and subtraction (or multiplication and division) are inverse operations, helping students understand how to rewrite the equation that provides a solution; while bar models help students visualize what the equation represents, making it easier to comprehend and solve.

The challenge slowly builds to help your learners feel more confident and will see learners solving 9 one step equations involving all four operations (including those students typically find more difficult such as 41 - n = 21 and 110/u = 22) and forming and solving 4 further equations.
