One-Step Equations Worksheet | Print & Go Algebra Practice (with Answer Key)

Give your students clean, no-prep practice solving one-step equations across two professionally designed pages. A worked example at the top walks students through the inverse-operation process — and even models how to check the answer — and sixteen problem cards give plenty of room for showing work. Perfect for classwork, homework, sub plans, early finishers, or test review.

WHAT'S INCLUDED

• 2-page student worksheet (PDF) – 16 problems with a worked example and a "show your work" box for each problem

• 2-page answer key (PDF) – every problem solved step-by-step with the final answer boxed in red

• All four equation types: addition, subtraction, multiplication, and division

• Carefully sequenced: page 1 builds confidence with positive solutions; page 2 adds negative answers and larger values

TOPICS COVERED

• Solving one-step equations using inverse operations

• Addition and subtraction equations (x + a = b, x − a = b)

• Multiplication and division equations (ax = b, x/a = b)

• Checking a solution by substitution

GREAT FOR

• Pre-Algebra and Algebra 1 classrooms (Grades 6–9)

• Bell-ringers, exit tickets, and quick formative checks

• Homework and independent practice

• Substitute / emergency sub plans

• Tutoring and intervention sessions

• Test prep and quick spiral review

PAIRS PERFECTLY WITH

• The HMF0 "Two-Step Equations" worksheet — use this one first to build the foundation, then move up.

STANDARDS ALIGNED

• CCSS 6.EE.B.7 — solve real-world problems by writing and solving equations of the form x + p = q and px = q

• CCSS 7.EE.B.4 — use variables to represent quantities and construct simple equations to solve problems

• Supports A.REI.B.3 — solve linear equations in one variable

FORMAT

• 2 PDFs (1 worksheet, 1 answer key)

• US Letter, print-ready, designed in clean HMF0 brand style

• Black and white printable (color cover for digital previews)

WHY TEACHERS LIKE THIS RESOURCE

Designed by a student-turned-creator who actually had to learn this stuff — every problem is intentional, every layout choice serves the student. No clutter, no fluff, just well-scaffolded practice you can hand out tomorrow.
