Worksheet directions

Grade 6 • Guided Practice • Work with your teacher or a partner. Discuss the model or strategy, then complete each problem.

Sample questions

  1. Each bag holds 3/2 kilograms of grain. There are 9/4 kilograms in equal bags. Write and solve an equation for the number of bag-sized amounts.
  2. For 2x = 4, Pat subtracts 2 to find x. Explain why multiplication requires a different inverse and solve.
  3. The tile model represents equal groups with an unknown value. Write an equation and divide both sides into equal groups to find x.
  4. Solve 1x = 1. Explain the inverse operation and check the result.
  5. For 1x = 4, Pat subtracts 1 to find x. Explain why multiplication requires a different inverse and solve.
