Solving Equations - Scaffolded Worksheet Collection

A collection of FOUR WORKSHEETS to introduce SOLVING LINEAR EQUATIONS. Starting with identifying inverse operations, each sheet progresses students one step at a time. There are examples at the top of each column to pre-empt where students will get stuck. The scaffolding reduces as students progress. There is a focus on using the Order of Operations in reverse to determine the next solving step.

These are aimed at ensuring EVERY student is able to achieve SUCCESS.
