Solve Equations Math Games

In this series of games, your students will learn to solve word problems leading to equations of the form px + q = r and p(x + q) = r. The Solve Equations learning objective — based on CCSS and state standards — delivers improved student engagement and academic performance in your classroom, as demonstrated by research. This learning objective directly references 7.EE.B.4.a as written in the common core national math standards.

Concepts Covered

Calculate using rational numbers (fractions, decimals, negative numbers, percents). Evaluate the reasonableness of a solution. Write equations to model real-life situations and then evaluate. Compare arithmetic and algebraic solutions.

Solve equations written in the form px + q = r fluently by first subtracting both sides by q then dividing both sides of the equation by p. Solve equations written in the form p(x + q) = r fluently. Write equations in the form px + q = r and p(x + q) = r to solve problems. Solve both forms of equations.
