Inverse Property Worksheets

About This Worksheet Collection

The Inverse Property Worksheets collection teaches students how mathematical operations undo one another and how this idea supports equation solving, algebraic reasoning, and real-world modeling. Through a carefully sequenced set of worksheets, learners explore inverse relationships across:

• Addition ↔ Subtraction
• Multiplication ↔ Division
• Powers ↔ Roots
• Negatives, reciprocals, and function inverses (advanced levels)

Students practice identifying inverses, applying them to simplify expressions, solving one-step and multi-step equations, and modeling real situations using inverse reasoning. From basic number sense to algebra-ready problem solving, this collection strengthens conceptual understanding and procedural fluency.

Detailed Descriptions Of These Worksheets

Addition & Subtraction Inverses
Students examine how addition and subtraction undo each other by simplifying expressions, completing missing-number tasks, and solving for unknowns. Real-world word problems require translating situations into equations that use inverse reasoning. This builds strong foundational number sense and equation-solving skills.

Multiplication & Division Inverses
This worksheet centers on the inverse relationship between multiplication and division. Students identify inverse pairs, solve one-step and two-step equations, and model real-world situations using inverse operations. The progression strengthens algebraic reasoning and problem-solving accuracy.

Exponents & Roots Inverses
Learners match powers to their inverse roots, simplify expressions, and solve equations involving exponents or radicals. A final section includes real-world contexts requiring translation into exponential or root-based equations. This worksheet supports pre-algebra and algebra readiness.

Other Inverse Operations
This page expands beyond basic inverses to include reciprocals, opposites, and inverse multiplication. Students simplify expressions using inverse relationships, solve for unknowns, and even explore the beginnings of function inverses. This worksheet strengthens deep algebraic reasoning.

Mixed Inverse Practice
Students review addition/subtraction and multiplication/division inverses through identification tasks, one-step and two-step equation solving, and word problems. This mixed review reinforces operational understanding and flexible reasoning.

Writing Equations from Word Problems
Learners translate addition, subtraction, multiplication, and division scenarios into algebraic equations. A final section introduces multi-step modeling. This strengthens students' ability to identify unknowns and understand how inverse operations support equation solving.

Influencer Inverse Operations
Students work through social-media-themed scenarios involving follower counts, likes, views, and earnings. Each item requires writing equations and applying inverse operations. The relevant context builds engagement while reinforcing algebraic modeling.

Social Media Equations
Another context-rich worksheet requiring students to express real-world situations using algebraic equations and inverse operations. Problems range from simple to multi-step modeling, reinforcing symbolic reasoning and interpretation.

Video Game Equations
Using gaming scenarios, this worksheet asks students to define variables and write equations representing digital-world challenges. Students practice expressing relationships using addition, subtraction, multiplication, or division, building strong equation-writing habits.

Equation Matching Challenge
Students match verbal descriptions to algebraic equations by recognizing keywords for inverse operations (e.g., "increased by," "decreased by," "times," "more than"). This activity improves fluency in interpreting math language and selecting correct structures.

Inverse Equation Matcher
This worksheet focuses specifically on inverse-property equations. Students match statements involving sums, differences, products, and quotients to equations that represent them. Emphasis is placed on relational vocabulary and structural reasoning.
