6th Grade students should be able to write and solve one-step equations (word problems). This skill is essential in understanding algebraic concepts and applying them to real-life situations. By providing students with multiple practice problems, teachers can help them become confident in their ability to write and solve one-step equations (word problems).For example: Riyan bought 3 pens for $9, let’s say each pen cost $x. So equation will be 3x = 9, x can be obtained by dividing both sides by 3.
