This free set has a 7th grade worksheet with a worked example, ten problems and an answer key, and a second page that moves from a full worked example to solving on their own.

What it is
Equation practice with whole-number answers, a worked example at the top, and a key. The second page fades the help: watch me, finish it, your turn, on your own.
How to use it

- Have students check every answer by putting it back in.
- Use the ladder page for students who need more steps shown.
Three quick tips
- Say it the same way each time: undo the adding first, then the multiplying.
- Ask students to explain why they undo the adding first.
- Mix in a negative number once the steps are easy.
Questions
- Are the answers whole numbers?
- Yes. Every answer on this page is a whole number, and every one is in the key.
- Is there a version with more support?
- Yes. The second page starts with a full worked example and gives a little less help on each problem.
- Can I get harder problems?
- Yes. Ask for two-step equations with negative numbers or with the variable on both sides.
