"Solving Algebraic Equations, Writing Expressions, and More, Plus Greater Than, Less Than Review" is a worksheet that combines algebraic skills with greater than and less than review.

Pages include various problems:

* Solving simple algebraic equations, like 6 + m = 15.

* Writing algebraic expressions for written expressions, like "subtract 52 from r."

* Simplifying equations, like 3r + 7r.

* Filling in letter values and finding the answer, like solving 8k + 50 when k = 4.

Pages also include greater than and less than review. Students compare decimals, negative numbers, and large numbers. They may also have to answer two division problems before determining if the answer to one is smaller, larger, or equal to the other.

Similar problems are grouped together, with some including multiple steps to help students keep their thoughts organized. Each problem within each section includes room where students can write the answer.

Letting students practice writing algebraic expressions and solving simple equations helps build the foundation for them to tackle more difficult problems later.

For example, they might solve for a letter in a simple equation like 8 + z = 17. You could also ask them to write the algebraic expression after reading it aloud, like saying, "Write an algebraic expression to divide s by 13." When asking students to simplify equations, start small with a single operation, like 6z - 4z.

Worksheets are a great way for students to review concepts. If concepts are new, have students work together in pairs or small groups. You could also break down larger worksheets into single-skill sections. Students could solve one section every day as a minute math activity or review before a test.
