These worksheets will give your students practice in evaluating and solving expressions using visual tokens.

This section of worksheets attempts to bring math to life for students. Instead of just providing pre-set integers students are given images to help them through the process. The section deals with simple operations only. The goal is to allow students to springboard into more advanced expressions. Teachers should remind their students that each image represents a single unit. Students will be asked in later sheets to create their own expressions and to visualize the operations that have been described. Word problems are built in the last quarter of worksheets. Each part of the expression is represented by visual tokens with assigned values.

These worksheets explain how to use visual expressions to write equations and solve problems. This is common skill for most around the home do-it-yourself projects.
