Equations word problems test answers: worked solutions
Question 1 – Read the balance [2 pts]
- \(7 + 2 = 9\)
- Any correct sum, such as \(5 + 4 = 9\).
Scoring: 1 point for the correct equation, 1 point for a different sum that equals 9.
Question 2 – True or false [3 pts]
- True: 5 + 3 = 8.
- False: 4 + 6 = 10, not 11.
- True: 12 – 5 = 7 and 3 + 4 = 7.
Scoring: 1 point for each correct answer.
Question 3 – Missing number [3 pts]
- 9: 6 + 9 = 15.
- 6: 6 + 7 = 13.
- 9: 17 – 9 = 8.
Scoring: 1 point for each correct number.
Question 4 – Number line [2 pts]
- 7: the hop from 9 to 16 is 7.
- 7: 16 – 7 = 9.
Scoring: 1 point for each correct number.
Question 5 – Three numbers [3 pts]
- 12
- 17: 8 + 2 = 10, then 10 + 7.
- 18: 6 + 6 = 12, then 12 + 6.
Scoring: 1 point for each correct sum.
Question 6 – Mei's beads [2 pts]
- \(6 + 5 + 7 = 18\)
- Mei has 18 beads: 6 + 5 = 11, then 11 + 7 = 18.
Scoring: 1 point for the equation, 1 point for 18 beads.
Question 7 – Liam's marbles [3 pts]
- \(? – 7 = 9\)
- Add: \(9 + 7 = 16\). Liam had 16 marbles.
Scoring: 1 point for the equation. 2 points for the answer: 1 for 9 + 7 and 1 for 16.
Question 8 – Fix the equation [2 pts]
- False: the left side is 12 and the right side is 13.
- Change the last 3 to 2: \(9 + 3 = 10 + 2\). Other correct fixes are allowed.
Scoring: 1 point for false with a reason, 1 point for any correct change.
