In 6th grade, students learn about equations, which are fundamental concepts in algebra. One important skill they need to develope is the ability to write and solve word problems based on one-step equations. 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. To develop this skill, math teachers may assign “Write and solve one-step equations (word problems) Quiz” to their students.
