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