Worksheet directions

Grade 6 • Homework • Use the strategies practiced in class. Show your work and check your answers.

Sample questions

1. A rope is length x meters. Adding 1 meters makes it 5 meters. Write and solve an equation, then check.
2. The grouped model shows an equality. Write the equation, remove the same amount from both sides, and find x.
3. A student solves x + 3/2 = 6 by adding 3/2 to the right side only. Explain the error and give the correct x.
4. A rope is length x meters. Adding 1 meters makes it 3 meters. Write and solve an equation, then check.
5. A student solves x + 3/2 = 4 by adding 3/2 to the right side only. Explain the error and give the correct x.
