Instructions

Play through this interactive game to learn about Write And Solve Problems With Equations. Suitable for Grade 6, Grade 7, Grade 8.

Main Concepts

The variable represents all the solutions that satisfy the equation or inequality.

All given variables that are represented by the same letter have the same value and so can be added or subtracted.

Equations should be solved algebraically, using inverse operations to both sides of the equation.

Equations can involve fractions or decimals.

Differentiate between whether a variable refers to a specific number or all numbers in a domain.

Equations can represent problems and used to solve problems.

Write equations using variables to solve real world mathematical problems.
