About this worksheet
A word problem is shown with the equation that goes with it already written. Students find the value of the letter that makes the equation true, across all four operations.
This worksheet shows a word problem together with the equation that goes with it, and asks students to find the value of the letter that makes the equation true. All four operations appear on the same page, which is what the standard names - addition, subtraction, multiplication or division - where the related sheets each cover only part of that. The unknown always sits inside the equation rather than alone on one side, so the work is reading the equation rather than choosing an operation. Sheets can be customized, turned into flash cards, or assigned for online learning.
Student objectives
- Find the value of a letter that makes a given equation true.
- Work with all four operations in one set of problems.
- Read an equation that has the unknown inside it rather than alone on one side.
Everyday practice
- Write the equation for a everyday situation before solving it.
- Check an answer by putting it back into the equation.
- Say which operation an equation uses before working it out.
