Write One-Step Equations From Verbal Statements #1

Translate written statements into equations in this sixth-grade worksheet! Students will read 18 unique verbal statements, then write an algebraic equation to represent the statement. Each equation will only use one operation and can include positive whole numbers, fractions, or decimals. 

This worksheet will help strengthen students’ abilities to move between words and symbols, which can lay the foundation for modeling real-world situations using equations and algebraic reasoning. Familiarity with the language used in math can prepare students for writing multi-step equations with exponents, negative numbers, and irrational numbers.
