Worksheet directions

Grade 6 • Review • Choose a strategy for each problem. Explain or check your thinking where requested.

Sample questions

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