We often ask our students to solve predetermined
equation, but what if they had to develop the equations themselves? As you scroll down and print out sheets you will work on converting word problems into equations then solve for the variables. Students will learn which words translate into which mathematical operations through the use of context clues.These worksheets demonstrate how to create a variable expression from a sentence. This content helps students move on to the "Back 9" of algebra. Really nailing this home will provide
great promise for all students. Get Free Worksheets In Your Inbox!Click the buttons to print each worksheet and associated answer key.
