Grade 7 Expressions & Equations Worksheets

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.
