Grade 7 Expressions & Equations Worksheets
At grade 7, expressions and equations means two-step equations, the distributive property, like terms with signed coefficients and one-step inequalities. Below are five worksheets on it — one per format — each in Set A, B and C with keys.
What the grade 7 expressions and equations sheets cover
Grade 7 expressions and equations comes in five formats (problem counts in brackets): drill (30, straight practice), timed drill (60, timed fluency), missing number (24, find the blank), mixed review (30, mixed shapes), and word problems (22, stories). Set A uses numbers from 0 to 12,000, 109 with negative values, and 3 with fractions. Problem types: two-step equations, the distributive property, and combining like terms with signed coefficients, plus three more. All five come as Sets A, B and C with answer keys, 166 problems per set from 22 to 60 a sheet. From the Set A drill, problem 11: "Solve: 7x + (-20) = 50" (answer x = 10). Common Core: 7.EE.1 and 7.EE.4.
Set other grade 7 expressions and equations ranges in the worksheet generator.
Grade 7 Expressions & Equations Drill
Straight practice, 20-40 problems.
Grade 7 Expressions & Equations Timed Drill
Fact fluency, 50-100 problems, timer box on sheet.

7.EE.4 — Equations & Inequalities in the Real World
Story problems in real-world contexts.
The drill has 30 problems, 24 with negative values (problem 11: "Solve: 7x + (-20) = 50"). The timed drill has 60 problems, story problems (problem 21: "Solve: x - -11 = 8"). The missing number has 24 problems, twenty with negative values (problem 9: "Solve: 1x + (-13) = -21"). The mixed review has 30 problems, 23 with negative values (problem 11: "Solve: 1x + (-20) = -21"). The word problems has 22 problems, story problems (problem 8: "Three friends split a restaurant bill equally, and each…").
Across the five sheets the generator draws on two-step equations, the distributive property, combining like terms with signed coefficients, evaluating expressions with negative values, one-step equations with integers, and one-step inequalities. The pages are tagged to Common Core 7.EE.4 and 7.EE.1, and each tag links to the standards index.
If this level is not landing, step to grade 6 expressions and equations, where the focus is evaluating expressions, whole-number exponents, one-step equations and combining like terms; if it is too easy, grade 8 moves on to multi-step linear equations, operations in scientific notation and integer exponent rules.
Start with the grade 7 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.
