Grade 6 Expressions & Equations Worksheets
Grade 6 expressions and equations covers evaluating expressions, whole-number exponents, one-step equations and combining like terms. The five sheets below take that work in five formats, and each comes in three versions with its own answer key.
6.EE.1 — Writing & Evaluating Expressions with Exponents
Straight practice, 20-40 problems.
Grade 6 Expressions & Equations Timed Drill
Fact fluency, 50-100 problems, timer box on sheet.
Grade 6 Expressions & Equations Missing Number
Solve for the blank in any position.
Grade 6 Expressions & Equations Mixed Review
Assorted problem shapes from the operation.
6.EE.7 — Writing & Solving Equations: Real-World Practice
Story problems in real-world contexts.
The drill has 22 problems, one with negative values (problem 8: "7²"). The timed drill has 60 problems, story problems (problem 21: "Evaluate 4x + 12 when x = 2."). The missing number has 24 problems, twelve with negative values (problem 9: "Solve: x - 10 = -5"). The mixed review has 30 problems, story problems (problem 11: "Simplify: -2x + (-1) + (-8)x + 1"). The word problems has 22 problems, story problems (problem 8: "A farmer planted rows of corn. If he planted 7 seeds in…").
Across the five sheets the generator draws on evaluating expressions, whole-number exponents, one-step equations, missing coefficients, and combining like terms. The pages are tagged to Common Core 6.EE.1, 6.EE.2, and 6.EE.7, and each tag links to the standards index.
Expressions and equations continues at grade 7 and grade 8, so a student who finishes the grade 6 sheets can move up without changing topic.
Start with the grade 6 expressions and equations drill to see whether the method is in place, use the timed drill only once accuracy is there, and save the word problems for the point where the student can compute without thinking about it.
