One-Step Equation Soup Part 2

equations · Choosing inverse operations for multiplication and division equations

One-Step Equation Soup Part 2 extends the Grade 6 equation work to multiplication and division. Students choose the operation-and-number card that will undo the coefficient or divisor in a one-step equation, with special attention to multiplication by reciprocals. The activity keeps the focus on selecting the right inverse move and explaining why it isolates the variable.

Use it as a whole-class follow-up after students understand the addition-and-subtraction version. The soup-card discussion is especially useful for surfacing confusion about dividing versus multiplying by a reciprocal.
