One-Step Equations Practice Set for Grade 7
A short practice sheet for 7th graders on solving one-step equations by using inverse operations to isolate the variable. It opens with a key-idea callout and a worked example (x + 4 = 10) that uses a balanced-hanger model and a substitution check, then gives students problems to solve on their own.

Teacher Guide & Tips
- Use this as a warm-up or guided-practice block of about 20 to 25 minutes after introducing the balance-model idea of doing the same thing to both sides.
- Discussion question: Why does subtracting 4 from both sides keep the equation true, and what would change if we only subtracted from one side?
- Scaffold for struggling readers: have them name the inverse operation in words before writing any step, and work through the substitution check together to confirm each answer.
- Extension for advanced students: ask them to write a one-step equation of their own whose solution is a negative fraction and have a partner solve it.
- Estimated time: roughly 20 to 25 minutes for the example and the full set of problems.
