This math assessment workbook offers practice with basic algebraic thinking. It presents equations like 9z = 17 and asks learners to choose the matching verbal statement. Other items require substituting values into expressions, such as 2s over 6. Problems gradually shift from interpreting expressions to solving for unknowns. They must recognize that 9z equals 17 means nine times z is seventeen. Learners solve one-step equations like 4m plus 2 equals 6 to find the value of the variable. They also evaluate fractional expressions such as 2s divided by 6 when s equals three, or 3r divided by 6 when r equals four. Later questions combine these skills with different constants to reinforce the patterns. Common Core skills addressed are 5 OA A 1 and 5 OA A 2, which involve writing, interpreting, and evaluating simple numerical expressions.
