Video Game Equations

This worksheet uses video-game-themed scenarios to help students practice writing equations that model real situations. Each prompt requires identifying quantities, defining variables, and creating an algebraic equation that fits the conditions of the story. Students work across two sections-context-rich situations and quicker gaming scenarios-to build versatility in equation creation. The problems reinforce translating verbal descriptions into symbolic expressions, a key pre-algebra skill. Learners also interpret how quantities relate through addition, subtraction, multiplication, or division. This worksheet makes equation writing more engaging by connecting math to familiar digital-world experiences.
