Modeling algebraic expressions worksheets :
Worksheets on modeling algebraic expressions are much useful to the students who would like to practice problems on "Algebraic expressions".
1. Use a bar model to represent the expression given below.
"7 + x"
2. Use a bar model to represent the expression given below.
"z / 3"
3. Use a bar model to represent the expression given below.
"t - 2"
4. Use a bar model to represent the expression given below.
"4y"
5. Katriana and Andrew started the day with the same amount of money. Katriana spent 5 dollars on lunch. Andrew spent 3 dollars on lunch and 2 dollars on a snack after school. Do Katriana and Andrew have the same amount of money left ?
6. On a math quiz, Tina scored 3 points more than Julia. Juan scored 2 points more than Julia and earned 2 points in extra credit. Write an expression and draw a bar model to represent Tina’s score and Juan’s score. Did Tina and Juan make the same grade on the quiz ? Explain.
Problem 1 :
Use a bar model to represent the expression given below.
"7 + x"
Solution :
Problem 2 :
Use a bar model to represent the expression given below.
"z / 3"
Solution :
Problem 3 :
Use a bar model to represent the expression given below.
"t - 2"
Solution :
Problem 4 :
Use a bar model to represent the expression given below.
"4y"
Solution :
Problem 5 :
Katriana and Andrew started the day with the same amount of money. Katriana spent 5 dollars on lunch. Andrew spent 3 dollars on lunch and 2 dollars on a snack after school. Do Katriana and Andrew have the same amount of money left ?
Solution :
Let "x" be the money that Katriana and Andrew had at the beginning.
Step 1 :
Write an algebraic expression to represent the money Katriana has left.
"x - 5"
Represent the expression with a model.
Step 2 :
Write an algebraic expression to represent the money Andrew has left.
"x - 3 - 2"
Represent the expression with a model.
Step 3 :
Compare the models.
The models are equivalent, so the expressions are equivalent.
Andrew and Katriana have the same amount of money left.
Problem 6 :
On a math quiz, Tina scored 3 points more than Julia. Juan scored 2 points more than Julia and earned 2 points in extra credit. Write an expression and draw a bar model to represent Tina’s score and Juan’s score. Did Tina and Juan make the same grade on the quiz ? Explain.
Solution :
Let "y" be the points scored by Julia.
Step 1 :
Write an algebraic expression to represent the points scored by Tina.
"y + 3"
Represent the expression with a model.
Step 2 :
Write an algebraic expression to represent the points scored by Juan.
"y + 2 + 2"
Represent the expression with a model.
Step 3 :
Compare the models.
The models are not equivalent, so the expressions are not equivalent.
Hence, Tina and Juan did not make the same grade on the quiz.
