Solving an Equation from a Word Problem (+ - ×) Worksheet Download
The equation is given to the student, so the task is not deciding which operation to use - it is reading the equation and finding the number that makes it true. The unknown always sits inside the equation (2 x n = 18, never 18 / 2 = n), because an equation with the answer already alone on one side asks nothing. Six contexts move the unknown around addition, subtraction and multiplication equations, and the multiplication facts stay single digit.
