In grade 6 Expressions, Equations, and Inequalities, students learn to write and solve one-step equations for word problems. This involves translating real-world situations into mathematical expressions and equations, and then using algebraic methods to find the solution. One-step equations involve a single operation, such as addition, subtraction, multiplication, or division, and can be solved by performing inverse operations to isolate the variable. Students will practice using these skills to solve problems involving simple calculations, time, distance, and money.
