These worksheets will teach your students how to correctly convert word problems into mathematical expressions.

We put students into geometric situations, which by the way is very common in everyday life. The students are tasked with writing an expression or equation to describe the situation they were placed in. Students will be asked to revisit measures and formulas that they have seen and worked with previously. I have to say the author of these worksheets really enjoyed triangle math. Triangles can help you learn a lot about the environment around you. Questions cover all basic arithmetic operations.

These worksheets highlight the close-knit relationship between algebra and geometry. Algebra normally focuses on determining the unknown value of a variable or to represent something with an expression or equation. Geometry on the other hand is more focused on points, lines, surfaces and shapes. You can use algebra to describe lines and points within them. We can also accurately graph the outcome of many shapes. These worksheets explain how to write equations that describe aspects of geometric shapes and statements of relationship. We highly suggest you complete the lessons before working on the practice problems.
