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, using multiplication only.
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. Every problem uses multiplication, so a student practising one operation at a time is not switching between them. The unknown always sits inside the equation rather than alone on one side, which means 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 multiplication equations where the unknown sits inside the equation.
- Check an answer by putting it back into the equation.
Everyday practice
- Write the equation for a situation before solving it.
- Check an answer by putting it back into the equation.
- Say what the letter stands for in your own words.
