Inverse Equation Matcher

This worksheet focuses specifically on equations that illustrate the Inverse Property of Operations. Students match verbal statements describing sums, differences, products, quotients, and comparative relationships to their corresponding equations. Because each statement involves an operation that can be undone, learners deepen their understanding of inverse relationships. The variety of structures encourages students to think critically about which algebraic form correctly reflects each description. The worksheet also reinforces correct interpretation of terms such as “difference,” “quotient,” “less than,” and “twice.” It works well as a practice tool or formative assessment.
