These printable worksheets are the perfect learning activity to help children become comfortable with finding the value of a variable. Practicing with these resources, students need to rearrange an equation to calculate the value of a variable, and write their answer in the space provided.
Each worksheet contains 12 unique equations to solve. These pages are perfect for introducing the topic. Finding a variable, children need to perform only basic mathematical operations of addition and subtraction. This helps them to focus on the algorithm of finding a variable without any additional challenges. You will also find these learning pages useful as extra teaching material, a home assignment, or a test.
These worksheets are designed to help children get acquainted with the notion of a variable. Variables are written in single letters and are commonly used for unknown parameters, values, and functions. The skill of solving for variables is basic and will be useful for making more complicated algebraic computations.
As a follow-up activity, hand out blank pieces of paper and ask children to think of and write down 3 equations with variables. Ask students to swap their papers, set the time: 1 minute to solve the equations for the variable. Then children work in pairs for peer correction.
These printable worksheets are suitable for 9-10 years old students, U.S. school, 3rd and 4th grades.
