About This Product

When teaching your students key algebra skills, it can often seem detached from the real world. Use this ready-to-go set of worksheets to help your students see how simple algebra can help solve real life problems that occur in everyday living. This product addresses simple two-step equations and the basics of algebra: doing the same thing to each side of an equation.

How to Use:

With this resource, learners get to see firsthand how two-step equations become useful tools in everyday situations. The package begins by presenting them with a sample scenario, presented in an easy-to-use handout, which will serve as both guide and template for subsequent activities.

Then students put theory into practice by writing two-step equations representing simple real-life scenarios – distance, money, cooking and more! For each situation, students write an equation, solve the equation, and then check their solution by putting it back into the equation: an important final step.

Grades to Use With:

This lesson is designed for students in grades 6-8 who are learning the basics of algebra: writing equations, using variables, solving two-step equations, and checking their solution. It could also be used in high school special education classes as it is designed to be learner-friendly and includes step-by-step instructions and graphic organizers.

What's Included: 7 Page PDF including:

  1. Title Page

  2. Sample Scenario Handout

  3. Three pages of realistic Practice Questions- with graphic organizers to keep students organized and focused

  4. A page with an extension activity (create your own problem) and an important Self-Assessment so students can see where they may need extra practice

  5. A complete answer key
